I've never seen just the clear plastic for sale. Look at getting new headlight assemblies. Vandals and thieves suck. Sorry to hear about your car.

Funny, I was going to start a similar thread because my headlight lenses look cloudy like the previous owners used something weird to try cleaning them and they just messed up. I asked the Acura dealer and they said I can't buy the lens separate from the entire assembly. I asked how much an assembly cost and they said it was $640!!! I did some searching online and came across this site Headlights Depot There's were much cheaper at just $152 per assembly. I think I will go ahead and order them and hope for the best as I'm not certain they are made by Honda/Acura.

Oops, my bad. I didn't notice you have an 07. Hmm, I don't know if they will believe the lens just cracked on it's own but it won't cost you anything to try. You never know.

Here, I just did a quick search and came across this site 07 2007 Acura TSX Headlight Assembly - Body Electrical - Replacement, Left - Driver Side, Right - Passenger Side - PartsGeek

There's is $240 per assembly for 2007. Pricey but still better than $640. I'll bet if you searched further you could find it cheaper.

I'm sorry to hear about your headlights. i don't think the stealership will do anything about it. i cracked my headlights as well back in may. I bought mine off of ebay for about $152 [for one side]. Afterwards [you may already know this], you just gotta take off the front bumper, and unhook all the wiring and remove the bulbs/ballasts from the cracked headlight onto the new one. be careful about touching the bulbs!
oh. here's a link to something similar: 2006 2007 2008 Acura TSX Headlight Head Lamp Pair Set:eBay Motors (item 130332990733 end time Oct-23-09 14:02:57 PDT)
the pricing on that is about $360, though. i hope this helped

Your only good option is to replace the left headlight. I don't know how anal you are but Depo makes good OE headlights for cheap, or you can looking the classifieds and try to find a set there. You can also make a WTB thread, I'm sure someone has a set laying around that they are willing to let go.

Or what you could of done is filed a police report, contact insurance company, and paid ur deductable (depending on how much it is) and get it repaired.

It would probably end up as a no fault claim... it's a little too late now.
