Question
QUESTION: I broke the lenses in the passenger side headlight and turn signal assemblies. I want to replace the lenses and bulbs only. Is there a parts blowup of these assemblies that would show the parts required?

ANSWER: Bob, I looked on Ebay, and they  have headlamp assemblies for about 55.00 each, shipping and all, and signal lamps for about 50 bucks each. It just doesn't get any cheaper than that! I know a s a fact that a new GM is well over a hundred on the headlamp, the side markers are at least 70 or 80. good luck to you! Bill

QUESTION: Is there no way I can just replace the lenses and not the whole assembly?

Answer
Bob, you cannot buy replacement lenses. Most factory headlamps are glued or fused together, your century is no exception. Even if they were available from GM, which they are not, I bet that the aftermarket assemblies would still be cheaper than the OEM replacement lenses that don't exist. Bill
