Accurate CAD files for headlights and taillights (or: anyone with a 3D Scanner?)

I'm looking for accurate 3d models of the headlights and taillights, and I'm not quite sure where to begin. It would be nice if Ford offered them through official channels, but I don't think they do.

In lieu of this, does anybody have a quality 3d scanner that they could use to capture the shape of the of the headlight surrounds / taillights? I would be happy to pay for your time.

I know very little about 3d scanning, but apparently there is an app for the iphones with the lidar based camera that will do 3d scans. My phone is Android, so I can't try it.

I was going to try 3d printing translucent covers for my headlight surrounds and taillights.

Vinyl tint doesn't work particularly well, and I don't want to spray tint them, so this was my next best idea.
