Let me guess, the ebay ones melted?!
I say get hold of some genuine, secondhand ones and polish them. There's a tech doc about somewhere with details of how to do this.,

I'd try the wreckers. Might get lucky and pick up a set in really good nic. I went and had a look the other week at my local wreckers, and there was an EF gli with absolutely mint headlights. They only wanted 80 or so $$.
