Unless youre going to open up those anzo lights and retrofit good projectors, they're def not worth it... as far as Opt7 goes... really dont waste your money. If your factory are really hazed over, just get oem replacements or depo brand replacements and a quality halogen bulb.

Jack , about 2 months I was faced with the same problem on my 05 screw. I liked the orignal headlight style but at my age I was having difficulty seeing well at night with the haze and original bulbs. bought products to clean up lens.they looked good but still not enough on low beams to see very well. I went on amazon and bought 100 w X 6k LEDs H13 equivalents with built in cooling fans and are plug and play as they say except for one minor detail.You must cut off one quarter inch off of one of the raised lines where it pushes into the light assy and twist locks into the housing do that and they lock in perfectly. these shine much farther than orignal bulbs and the white light is much like what the latest cars are running. I have never had to use the high beams as these light up road signs and street lines for great distance. I have two other other cars with Hids and they do a good job. These work better for me and are less complex to install ( no ballasts and other stuff to install)

Seeing better is great, but it sucks to be the oncoming car who is blinded and cannot see anything.
I too use leds in a halogen housing, but they have a shield and make a definitive cutoff line. I’ve also adjusted them low enough to not bother other drivers.
When im behind someone, my lights are lower than their side view mirrors.
