Question about headlights

The lens on the headlights on my 2000 f250 are faded and are don't shine much light at night. Was trying to decide between the halo projector light w/led's, the euro headlights, or the clear stock headlights. Any pro's or con's on the halo projector lights or the euro headlights. Thanks in advance for your response.

It's all a matter of personal choice. All work and will be an improvement over what you have. I opted for the 05 style with the brighter bulbs.

I went with the '02 clear style and silverstar lamps to save some bucks. My next move will be '05s like Barry.

3M does have a lens polishing kit. Supposed to work real well.
But then you wouldn't have an excuse to upgrade. A symptom
of PMS.

One of mine (2002) showed a little discoloring, but I used PlastX (McGuiars product, I think) on it and it cleaned up nicely.

X2 on the '05's, I love the look and the improved lighting. I 'restored' the lights on a mustang I had and it worked great, for about 3 months, then they hazed right over again.....just my .02

I used the Permatex lense polishing kit, and it made very little difference. Followed their directions to the T. Waste of time and money as far as i'm concerned. i think i read somewhere that toothpaste is supposed to work well. Haven't tried it though.
