    My headlights/housings are starting to fog and for some reason bothers me. I have looked around everywhere but cannot find the headlights I currently have. I believe the guy before me said they were the 2010 TRD housings but when I look that up I only get the ones that have a complete black housing, and mine seem to be graphite/light black housings. Let me know if you know where I can find a pear... :annoyed:

    Yep. Those are the TRD housings.
    It's actually the chrome that is smoked, the lens is clear. You can do the same with a transparent paint, or solid black, the surround is separate from the reflector bowl and remains "stuck" to the lens when you split the housings open.

    But those lenses don't look that bad. You should be able to use a restoration kit on them, then keep them waxed.
