Can I replace the headlight cover alone?
 
My front headlights, which has the clear cover on them, I am trying to find out if it is possible to change those front covers without having to replace the whole headlight. It is so faded. It's an 05 accord EX-L 4door. I tried cleaning them with the headlight lens cleaner, but not satisfied with the results. I want them to be shiny as new. Any ideas on where to get them and costs?

No place sells separate parts of the headlight assembly. Additionally, the cover is held together by adhesives.

I recommend the 3M restoration kit.

Plenty available aftermarket on ebay.

Check OEM parts as they will be better parts and decide if premium for OEM provides value to you.

To replace the headlight lens, you will have to remove the front bumper cover. A shop manual is essential to avoid damaging delicate mountings.
Check automanualsource on ebay for a $21.99 OEM emanual.

good luck

You may want to wet sand the lens with some 2000 grit paper. Then use some polish to clean up the lens. There are some videos on YouTube showing what to do.
