Headlight upgrade

My 11 YO headlight housings are starting to look pretty bad and since the headlights sucked from day one, I'm wondering what's out there for good full housing replacements. I'd prefer LED over HID, if given a choice. I don't need blingy halo's or anything like that.

Thanks.

i used tooth paste and baking soda to help clear up the haze on my housings. it helped, but i found that wipe new worked better and it doesnt cost too much. i would stick with stock housing because most aftermarket ones dont display the light well, unless you spend tons of money on them. look around in here.

I installed these (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...-3-kit-h1.html) within my stock housings. Awesome upgrade once you get them aimed just right. It's the same thing as BILTIT's link but you retain your stock housings and install them yourself.....not a lot of work, but it does take some work (such as warming your housings in the oven, splitting them, install the projectors within the housing and making sure they are level before warming housings and closing it back up....then wiring). Depends how much work you wanna do and how much money you wanna spend, and the condition of your stock housings.

The kit I posted does not come with the resistor harness so you don't get the "Lamp Out" error. Something like these....

....worked for me.

Thanks for posting the link. My Dodge Magnum is needing replacements badly.

Strange that my '03 Ram headlights still looks brand new yet my '05 Magnum looks like hell.
