That said, I noticed the plastic lens covers look pretty faded. Can you replace just those or are they told as a whole unit? Anyone done this particular mod in which you had to replace more than just the bulb itself? Thanks for any information.

Mine looked pretty cloudy and was kind of thinking the same thing initially. Once I removed mine they cleaned up pretty well and took a lot of the crud off, just a little opaque now and no biggie. The LED’s do just fine shining through there. I’d say try it first after the swap with your originals. If not happy then maybe order them.
The problem I ran into on mine were the screws for them were so rusted, the Phillips head portion basically just crumbled and was heck to get them out. I do need to get new screws for them though. After cleaning and lubing them I was able to get them back in for the interim. Not looking forward to that again lol.
