    Headlights/fogs are super cloudy and yellow on my 2nd gen. Any good aftermarket ones that won’t break the bank? Ordered some meguiars two part so I’ll see if that works.

    The key to a headlight restoration is to add a headlight UV protectant as a maintenance item for your truck. The restoration process strips off the UV protective coating, meaning they will now yellow 20x faster. The protective coatings are temporary like a wax, so they need to be reapplies to maintain a clear finish.

    If you get new headlights, get OEM for best performance and quality. There are links for where to buy OEM Pro style smoked lenses in this thread:
