R56 Adaptive Headlights

Adaptive Headlights
I have a 2007 Mini Cooper S with factory Adaptive Xenon headlights. They are completely fogged over and none of the kits I have tried will clean them up. I'm discovering that finding replacement housings is problematic. Does anyone have any suggestions other than EBay? Thanks

The adaptive headlight did not come out till latter , the 2007+ R56 Xenons have auto leveling.
Some other options :
Premium Headlight Lens Restoration Kit from OSRAM / Sylvania

Or new headlights : factory Xenons take the Xenon ones.

Do they have moisture inside of them or are the oxidized and dull on the outside only? If it's only on the outside you can restore them. I've used this kit on numerous cars with awesome results:
It takes a while but it's definitely cheaper than new lights. Patience is key to get great results. You must use a drill with this kit but it is more effective and less work than doing it by hand.
Here's a vid of the process.
