My HID Light Housings ARE MELTED =(

i have a Evo IX MR SE
so i taped up my headlights for an off road dirt event with 3M painters Tape
and i geuss somewhere along the line i left my fogs on along with the lights

so when i take off the tape i see like a frosted white ish blemish on my headlights on both housings right in front of the Fogs. so i geuss it got so hot in there that it MELTED the light Housings and put those marks on there. =(

so now this is bugging the Eff !! out of me i hate looking at my car and seeing them espeacilly when the rest of the car is perfect and all shiny ya know

if anyone has any tips or advice
or even spare light housings laying around ide be happy to pay for them
otherwise i have to buy a whole new set of HID's For My Evo IX MR


if i could just find someone whoes parting out or something thad be dope
either that or someone who wants to buy these for a good price so ill be close to being able to buy the JDM ones
or maybe someone will trade plus CA$H on my end
or someone whoes selling just the regular USDM evo IX HID's
heres a pic of the damage :

Time for JDM headlights! Are they melted completely through? (As opposed to only on the top). If it's only on the top you could sand it and polish it probably.

im pretty sure the plastic lens is melted on the inside. if so, you're going to have to take it apart and get a new plastic lens.
