Replace them.  No other options.  It's a combination of reflector aging and
pitting from road debris(giving the lense a fogged, or more appropriately,
sand blasted look.)

Don't get used units; they'll be in just as bad condition. New ones are
around $220 a side, I think.  Doesn't make much sense when Euros are
$275/side and so much better.  It's worth the extra $105 tota, though there
are other expenses.  You will need a harness($100ish) and a total of 6
bulbs($?)

We're trying to get a group purchase, but Metrix is being rude and not
calling us back(I think it's been 2 weeks now; I'm growing very tired.)
