Upgrading headlight

my old 2010 headlights are hazy from the inside I was thinking of changing then out. Nothing crazy or fancy, just want to have better visibility since I drive early in the morning almost everyday. I was thinking of just going to eBay and getting the double halo spyder headlights with the H1 bulbs for about 135 for the pair. Any input or suggestions?

 

Hazy from the inside? I doubt that. Most hazing/oxidation/yellowing is all on the outside from the elements getting to it. If it is in fact hazy on the inside, you've got an internal issue. But don't see how that's possible. Have you looked into restoring the ones you have?

And I suggest not getting those halo headlights. You will probably have worse output than you do with the hazy ones. CERTAINLY not any better than oem output. Not to mention, more than likely having sealing issues.. If you're on a budget, Get some good aftermarket oem ones. If the restoration doesn't do the trick that is.

My suggestion, is to try and restore the ones you have. And save up for a bixenon retrofit. 100x better than oem. And 1000000x better than the halo knock offs. Black Friday is around the corner and trs always has great discounts on retrofit kits.

 

And a couple more thoughts.. if you're not the diy'er, hit up lsc15 and he can build and sell you a retrofit. If you're still not interested in any of the above, Get a set of aftermarket oem headlights, and get some additional cheap eBay led aux lights/bar. If you can use them where you drive (out of traffic) in the wee hours of the morning either way, retrofit or additional aux lights with new headlights, will probably cost about the same. Depending on if you diy.

 

Agreed, the oxidization is on the outside. Grab a lens cleaner product of your choosing and go for it. Check google for reviews on the products.

As the lenses age, they get damaged by debris, grit, sand, etc on the outermost layer of plastic. This also gets yellowed by the sun. When you recondition your headlamps, you'll actually be removing that damaged outermost layer from the lens. They will eventually haze up again in the future, but it will take a little while.

Aftermarket lenses will not have the same pattern- I've been there, done that on my old 2007. I had moisture issues even after putting silicone all around the outside of the housing twice! Also, they do not adjust properly like OEM lamps do. I had Anzo brand lamps, but I understand Depo lamps are better.

If I were you, I'd simply address the haze and buy yourself time to check out your options, read reviews, etc. don't make a rushed decision costing hundreds of dollars.
