I have them, they are the DEPO Gen 4's you can get them from eBay or Modern Performance.

DEPO Gen4s, love mine. Got them in black, threw in a HID kit from buyHIDs, and it's ****.

Definitely one of the cleanest, unricey lights we have available. And no stoopid LEDs or halos to burn out!

Mine seem to be sealed perfectly. Of course, I live in the desert, but it has rained on them, and no problems.

Is there any other way of fixing them? or is replacing them the only way?

you could try wetsanding and buffing them but replacing them would be easier for the average person

you just gotta run HIDs in them and you will be fine. the halogen bulbs is what messes with the lenses

According to MPx (that's where I bought mine from) they said that the HIDs will actually harm the lenses more due to the projector putting out constant pressure.

i have these. look at my cardomain link in my signature and you can see em compared to the stock ones. i love these headlights. the older models of these headlights had problems with the lenses cracking from heat stress but im pretty positive i read something about them having fixed the problem by changing the material the lens was made of. ive also heard that the stock bulbs in them crack the lens. i wouldnt know because i only have the stock bulbs in for about 2 weeks. now ive got 5000k hids.
