I wanted to redo the headlights on my 93 MX-3, Am I going to have to replace the entire assembly? or can I just replaces the front plastic, and where do I go to get what I need?

Thanks.
*never run off the road in an MX-3, it is very scary*

If you want to buy new lenses, you can still buy them from Mazda.

You really don't need to replace the housing unless it's damaged.
