Default Headlight question

The reason i am getting new headlights is because they get all hazy, like 2 weeks after i clean them, and ive tried every way i could find on the internet. and also when i was changing one of my lights the bracket that holds the bulb in place broke. so i have a rag holding it up. and im sick of every time i hit a bump it literally moves enough so that its pointing a different direction. so i have one steady light and one wobbly. and i havent been pulled over yet.

i hope to get these headlights. i have a few days til i can order(waiting on paypal)
my question is is there really a difference?, i mean the turn lights next to the headlights, will i have to do any messing around with wires?

another set i've been looking at are here which dont have the front turn signal. personally which ones do you think i should get?

i just dont want to have to do a lot of wiring to get them to work. and which ones would you recommend? and which ones would be easier to install.

those are for the 2nd gen. Neons. but for the 1st gen. I would just go with the Depo's from Modern Performance. you might be able to find them on ebay.

Those are just factory replacements and will yellow over time just like your stock ones. You want the Diamond Clear headlights from Depo.

I think the light output is OK, just stay away from projector headlights unless you are ready to upgrade to HID.
