Default Headlight upgrade

This has probably has already been discussed here but I can’t figure out the search function.
Need to change out my headlight housings light housings, they have become so foggy there’re pretty much useless. So I’m looking for suggestions, should I keep the same? Is upgrading to LED worth it? Any recommendations on where to buy?
thanks
Tim C

I've changed out my housings a couple of times over the years. I just went with OEM look (like these:
Amazon.com: HEADLIGHTSDEPOT Halogen Headlights Compatible with Ford Bronco F-150 F-250 F-350 Super Chrome Housing Left Driver Right Passenger Side Headlamps 6-Piece Set With Corners and Signal Lights : Automotive Amazon.com: HEADLIGHTSDEPOT Halogen Headlights Compatible with Ford Bronco F-150 F-250 F-350 Super Chrome Housing Left Driver Right Passenger Side Headlamps 6-Piece Set With Corners and Signal Lights : Automotive
) and standard halogen bulbs (like these:
Amazon.com: Philips Automotive Lighting 9007 VisionPlus Deluxe Upgrade Automotive Replacement Headlight Bulb, Fits Select High Beam, Low Beam, or Fog Positions (Pack of 2) : Automotive Amazon.com: Philips Automotive Lighting 9007 VisionPlus Deluxe Upgrade Automotive Replacement Headlight Bulb, Fits Select High Beam, Low Beam, or Fog Positions (Pack of 2) : Automotive
). LED bulbs don't work well in our trucks' housings as far as I know due to light scatter. Maybe they've gotten better designs now that do work. When you do get new housings, be sure to get these clips too as the old ones usually break when removing them (
Amazon.com: Red Hound Auto 6 Pivot Headlight Retaining Clips Compatible with Ford F-150 F-250 F-350 Bronco 1992-1996 : Automotive Amazon.com: Red Hound Auto 6 Pivot Headlight Retaining Clips Compatible with Ford F-150 F-250 F-350 Bronco 1992-1996 : Automotive
). Good luck!!!
