I currently have HID’s with switchbacks in my pretty stock headlights but the clear coat is coming off pretty bad after a couple years so I’m thinking about buying the smoked headlights. Anyone have experience with this combo? I’m curious about the brightness. I do have Diode Dynamic led fogs also to help with some of the light.

My current headlights aren’t smoked just have some black inside so not on the lense. Not sure how to clean them up and replace clear coat
