Smoked headlights stay away, they will kill light output. Just open up your headlights and paint then for free. (Do not paint the reflector bowl then you'll have 0 output)

Save up for a set of retrofit headlights! They're pricey, but worth it!

After looking closely the black paint they use is flat and it looks like crap. I probably will try the painting method with gloss black.

I had those same lights in my 08 for about a year and a half. They started peeling and turned yellow. On the outside.
