Euro Lights?

The trouble with OEM is that, while they won't be pitted or "tinted"
like your old lenses, they will still have the same crappy lighting
pattern. And I think they cost about 150 USD each or so?
The Euros run 400-500 (USD) a pair, and use the H4 bulb and properly
made lenses, providing an excellent light pattern. The ones with an H1
as well for 'extra" high beams are really really nice, although you have
to make sure what you get will fit your car and trim properly.
Of course, some people just add some big driving lights on the bumper to
run as high beams and live with the crummy low beams. It's the cheapest
solution, I guess, although the "look" might not please everyone.
