I said it 10 times already - and i will say it once again:

IT posible to do - but you need to either find a shop who does this - or either have the right equipment. I'v polished 6 glasses of celica headlights - and 2 of them where broke after polishing. Why? Cuz its glass not plastic - you need to do all the polishing under water, with special grinding tool, using speacial dimond disks, after this you need to sand the surface with special 4000 grit disk, after this - you need to fully heat up the glass, while the surface fo glass needs to be heated up totaly eaqualy, and polish up the heated glass with special polishing gel. And all in all during all this proces you need to be extremly carefull not to brake the glass + as Dustin said - celica glass inst flat surface, its bend in all directions - and this make polishing even harder. Basicly thats why no one wants to do this, and there are almost only few shops in my area who would do this - but they charge inormal amount of $ for this.

And to answer original qustion that you asked about replacment lenses - toyota doesnt sell the lenses separatly.
