I've noticed a lot of people purchasing new headlamps for these and other vehicles when it isn't neccessary...why?...my solution for years has been a high quality polishing compound...if the problem is only external...polish them...polishing last according to the condition the lamps are exposed to...I polish mine about 2 times a year...alot cheaper than replacing!
