Re: Thoughts on these lights.
one of my issues is my light lens cover is faded and deteriorating. Thats why i'm still leaning to the full replacement. I didn't really think $180 on lights was all that cheap, as I never bothered even doing lights on my offroad vehicles as they get broken so much bouncing off rocks and trees and stuff.

+1 to that. BTW, GolNat is the guy who finally convinced me to retrofit. My driver's side lens looks like someone j!zzed superglue on it for some reason, but other than that they are WAY clearer than they were last year before I restored them. I used the Rain-X restore kit.

I saw the restore kit. I wonder if it's better to just use it. I'm still iking the blue led lighting that those new lights have

The retrofit kit? The left side was perfectly aimed from the start but my right headlight is slightly off target <---> because I screwed around with an adjustor before I put it back in; I'm too lazy to take it off and adjust it right now. Depending on the model/year, you should be able to AT LEAST aim up/down once the lights are reinstalled. Did that answer your question?

to sum up:
most aftermarket replacement lights with halo angel eyes put very little light and/or in the wrong places.
way better to install projectors that were actually well designed in the stock housing.
ah, most of then will fog when rains.
mine - light sucks and right side fogs.
but my stock ones were beaten, so i put them.
