Default Any help or advice

So i have my 05 C6 headlights fading/cracking from the inside of the lens. I seen the replacement lens for both sides online, but i watched a youtube video on how to replace them and it looks a little outside my expertise.

I was wondering if anyone knows a place in Dallas/Fortworth area that will do the job for me?

Or anyother possiabilites other then $2k new headlights assembly from the dealer.

Thanks in advance

Believe me, It's not as hard as it looks. I was very timid about trying this, but after doing it, it was a piece of cake. The hardest part is removing the headlights from the car, and on a scale of 1-10, that's a 5.
The baking of the assembly takes 10 minutes. After that time, I was able to pull the lenses off. The glue was easily removed in 10 minutes for each headlight. Gluing the new lenses on was no problem either, but clamps are required.
RLSebring will do them for you if you send the headlight to him.

Good Luck
