Recommendations? Headlights
I bought a 2001 F250psd and the headlights are very yellowed. So here I am asking for a recommendations for replacements without breaking the bank. I could go with stock, but I'm sure there are better ones.
Thanks in advance.

This is what I bought about 2.5 years ago and they have been great.

Without knowing what breaking the bank is, I did those. By far, the best improvement i have done. If you get the harness adapter, it requires nothing but a little trimming. I can see twice as much with just the bulbs they came with. I have not upgraded to any other sort of bulb. I put them in 2 years ago april and they have no color change, or leakage. Being picky, i went to lowes and got 4 1/4" speed clip nuts for the top holes and phillips head screws so that i could use one tool to change them when that time comes.

I did the same upgrade as above, but I used the headlights from A1Auto (significantly cheaper than OEM lights, but still good quality) and the harness from RiffRaff.

Huge upgrade in lighting. Well worth it in my opinion.

I got tired of buffing, it never lasted long.
take the $30 add $50 and have these. New headlight bulbs are included but I did buy amber for the signal and running lights.

Lots of options. I still have not made up my mind on a replacement.
So, until you decide, buy some Deep Woods OFF with Deet. About $2.70. Spray it on. Wipe it off. X2 and they'll look almost like new within 30 seconds or less per side. Redo when necessary. Generally lasts about 6 months.
This will buy you some time while you decide.

No, that's not how it's done! I did this about two weeks ago the lights were looking really decrepit and frosty. I had been looking at replacing them. The 02-04 lights look like a winner to me! Polishing compound and a car buffer. It takes about 5 min per light. Comes out looking great as in new! I also polished the 03 Pre-runners lights. They look better than the SD lights. They also work great after the polish job.
