I know this isn't what you asked for, but while you're looking for new aftermarket headlights, try cleaning your stock lights with KIT Scratch Out. I used some of this over the weekend, and was quite impressed. I wish I'd took before and after pics. The stuff is cheap (WalMart), and I spent 15 minutes rubbing the lights.

I haven't had the truck out in the dark yet, but the lenses are pretty clear, even cleared up the fog lights. I was ready to shop for aftermarket lights, too, but now I think I might try some new [Philips Extreme?] bulbs in the stock lights first.

Just a thought...

Yessir, just the outer lenses.

I know seeing only "After" pics may not help much, but here's after maybe 15 minutes of work on two lights. It's weird, coz on the foglight, I can see stuff that's still on the surface, but it's clear now, not fogged up.

Like I said, I need to take a night ride, and maybe even replace the bulbs in the headlights. But I spent a couple hours wet sanding and grit rubbing the headlights on an old Tahoe I had, and they never came this clear with all that work.
