Headlight lens

So I had my factory led headlights painted black (internally) and custom corner lens installed as well. The outer lens is starting yellow and have the "spider crack" effect in them. Does anyone know if the non-led headlights use the same lens? Trying to save buck, clearly as halogen headlights from ford or significantly cheaper if i just want the lens.... If not, I may try the vapor acetone method and a new UV coating...
Thanks,
Ryan

a benefit to aftermarket lens is that usually theyre easier to separate than the OEM ones due to the butyl used. separating OEM lenses is a HUGE pain. cant help ya otherwise

What year is this truck? I can only say with ~~100% certainty~~ that the 17-19 LED lenses are different than halogen. I can't say for sure that the same is true of the 2020+, but I am pretty sure they are different.

You know, the more I think about it the less sure I am haha. They are very similar. I cant tell if the differences I see are molded into the lens, or actually just behind it.
