C6 headlight replacement
After putting up with "crazed" headlight lenses for some time I contacted Robert Sebring (forum vendor) for help. I had a local body shop remove the assembly and shipped them off to Robert for lens replacement. The lights look fantastic and I am happy with the results. Thanks to Robert and my body shop for a job well done. If you are having the same problems with your headlight lenses contact Robert for help, you will be glad you did.

The cost was $700 plus shipping. A good body shop should charge about $150 to remove and install the headlight assembly. You can do the remove and install on your own but I didn't want to ness with it.

Removal of the headlight assembly is fairly simple, it just takes time. You must remove the front bumper and then loosen the fenders to be able to remove the headlights.
There are a few guides on this site and a youtube video that detail how to remove the bumper. Your first time doing it it probably takes an hour or maybe 2 to remove the bumper and then the same amount of time to reinstall it, but once you've done it a time or two and know what you're doing it gets pretty easy. Just go slow and use painters tape to protect from scratches.

Hey Tom, glad I could be of service Lights looked great.
His lights looked worst than this when we started:
You can tell the stark difference with the new lens in comparison.
You also don't have to remove the front bumper cover anymore. Many have found you can remove the top screws from the cover and fenders and create enough space to get the headlights out. Some have reported 30 minutes to get both headlights out.

Pretty much any combination of the above. I've seen garage queens with it and daily drivers left out in the sun. Really not any one definitive answer.
