I just installed new lenses this morning. Don't buy eBay knock offs, they yellow in like 2 years. I completely removed the headlight assemblies. I bought new lens gasket seals, and i could not for the life of me get the new lenses snap back in on one of headlights. I gave up and I ended up re-using the original seals as they seemed ok. New lenses fit fine with the old lens gasket seals.

On my OE HID units, I used the URO replacement lenses for halogens with no issues. I can't see a difference between the two. They looked great and sealed fine, I didn't even replace the old seals, granted she is a bit of a garage queen but they're still fine two-plus years later. I recently switched to actual halogen units, which we bought new so the HIDs are chilling on a shelf.

Well I split the difference. Took the passenger side out but did drivers still on car. Lenses take some force to close with new gaskets. FWIW the OE lenses say right on them "DS2 or H7."
