Question Evo 9 Headlight

Soooo my headlights started to look like crap, so i used the Mothers headlight restoration kit and it compately made em worse!!...so i was wondering is there a way to just buy the plastic headlight cover or housing, so i dont have to replace the entire thing?

I found the complete housing on mitsubishiparts for a little over $300. It might be more cost effective just to find a used set, but then you'll be right back where you started.

2000 grit sand paper. Sand off the remaining flaking clear and reclear. Or you can just leave it without clear and polish your headlights every 3 days.
