I don't think they make a set for the Marauder. Some members have used window tint on the headlights and they look great.

Use 3M window tint if you plan on doing it.

Is there a way to take the clear lense off these headlights to get at the inside of them? I have a wicked haze that has faded the lense, that looks like normal road rash (which there also is), but I need to get at the interior to get the haze off! Any suggestions?

Thanks for the replies, but my problem is that the original headlight covers have a film over them due to UV exposure & I'm sure due to many car washes, I've tried headlight lens restorer but yet they still have a dull residue. Any suggestions will be appreciated !

Wet sand them down on the exterior. With a fine grit sand paper 1,000 then 2,000 grit. I need to do that to mine too, but I also need to get at the inside because I have a film on the inside due to moisture

Replace them. They will haze up again. Not enough UV inhibitor in the mix when making the lenses.

Some detailers have a process that after sanding to get a smooth finish, they apply a 50/50 mix of Helmsman gloss clear varnish and mineral spirits. Two coats. Never tried it myself, but the pics looked impressive.

How many coats were u planning? Do you have HID's, if not, your light output might not be safe enough for night driving. I've been entertaining the idea to tint my headlights but I still want to drive at night

I would not use that on your head lights, just use tint film instead. If you were to be sited/given a citation for your headlights then you can easily remove the tint film, with nightshades spray you'd have to buy new headlights to correct the citation.

If I remember correctly, you have to bake them in the oven at 350(?) degrees for a few minutes then you'll be able to separate them. There is a post somewhere about it.

No the headlights are not.
