Good morning and welcome.
We'll need a little more detail:
Early car or facelift? (Orange indicators or clear)
Halogen or Xenon? (Halogen has an adjustment wheel by the light switch - Xenon doesn't)

If in doubt, photos will help.

There are often people breaking cars on here who have decent lights available.

I would ask though what is up with your headlights? If they are cloudy they can be restored using kits from the likes of Autoglym, Meguiars, etc.

Hi, it a 2005 with the orange indicators, and they are halogen, the reason to change is the covers are very yellow, are the restoration kits any good as I have tried one and it didn’t do the job

Yes, the meguires kit is great- use the wet sandpaper then polish up and seal.

The kits or wet sandpaper can produce very good results. I would give it another go

I use the Autoglym one and it really does make them like new.
Much cheaper than a new headlight that's for sure.
