I have this 04 camry altise, driverside headlight cover is now looking very foggy, age problem, where can i buy a cheap headlight cover? i have been to dealers they want me to spend $300 for the entire unit, can I just buy a cover and replace it without replacing entire headlight unit?

When you say foggy, do you mean that there is condensation build up inside the light, or do you mean the lens cover has deteriorated?

If its headlight covers you can get them from autobarn/repco but wont be genuine, you can try your luck at wreckers too

Judging by the price you've been quoted, sounds like you're referring to the lens of the headlight which you can't find replacements for.

If it is just moisture inside, drill a hole or two in the top and the bottom (of the back of the housing) which should help eliminate moisture build up.

If the front cover is yellowed/foggy looking. Hit it with some 2000grit wet and dry, then polish over with a rotary/orange pad/plastic polish a few times. Then use a sealant/wax over the top.

If its foggy from the inside, then remove the entire headlight unit, place it into an oven at approx 200 degrees but only leave it in there for a short time so the glue can melt where the lens meets the unit. Take it out of the oven and pry the lens away from the surroundings with a small flat blade screwdriver. Then use Andrew357 idea of using 2000grit wet/dry sandpaper to remove the yellowness. Once done, put sealant into the surround of the unit, and stick the lens back into place and allow it to dry.
