Here is a pic of the left headlight on the GA. Can it be saved? Or would I be better off buying one at the wrecking yard? Here is a pic of the right side one too, for comparison.

I don't understand...did you replace the right one and now you want it to match?

If so, there are many threads on here about clearing headlights. I did mine and they turned out 99% better but they will not ever be like a new headlight. You could just try to clear it and if you don't liket he result buy a new one.

I just bought the car last Saturday. It was like that. I haven't done anything to the car yet.
I will check out that thread, and if I can't save it, I will buy a new one. Thanks.

There's plenty of used units in good shape availble. Ebay and our "For Sale" sections are a good place to start.

I meant I would check out the local wrecking yards for a replacement- a new one to the car. I always check them out first, then price a brand new one and compare the prices.

You could also get a pair of clear-cornered headlights (the amber reflector is white/clear instead) off eBay, might wanna check with the cops around your area to see how legal they are, in my area they're alright, but not sure about my college area for next year.

Plastix by meguiars does wonders on headlights. hell i use it on my tails and i see a difference. elbow greae or a buffer will help and get it done quicker. or just get new headlights and put some HIDs.
