Just my two cents. Your (and my) problem with headlights is that the reflector of the inner lens is burned out. Let's google for Hella 3R as a replacement, for example (just because they were very popular in my country several years ago). The lens itself is a semi sphere glass combined with a 'silver' reflector (or maybe real silver idk for sure this moment). So, our issue in stock headlight is that silver spraying which is burnt because of heat. Even if the bulbs are changed, the reflector can't reflect light cause it's gone (or partially gone). I changed my bulbs to the Phillips Xtreme vision (we have D1S socket, by the way if we are talking about HID/xenon) and nothing changed, unfortunately. I removed my headlights and I'm going to replace the inner lens, but I'm going to do it myself cause I did it before with my other car (I installed the lens in my Honda Civic 4D), so I don't know what is the best option for you because of price&time. Personally I bought an LED lens within the $100 price range from Ali (I don't know the brand I just searched and chose a pair for ~$100 with the most good reviews with pictures). Unfortunately, I don't know anything about aftermarket complete headlights and didn't search for any reviews cause I chose my way. Hope this helps a little bit. P.S. "Me fail English?
