My best option to replace my Headlight lens covers?

I have tried the sand/polish method 2-3 times and it helped but it sill looks like ish!

I was thinking maybe find some used ones in good condition and just swap the lenses out. I think I'll have a problem finding just the lens though. Could I switch my ballast to another one thats borken if I can find one? Or are they rivited in or something?

Best options?

ebay has dozens of sets FS always, going for about 100-150 usually

reconsider re-finishing them or having some young nephew do it for 50$ =)
