Default headlight questions

Has anyone here changed out their headlights to improve the look of their trucks? I have a gray 2001 single cab 4x4 dakota sport, and the headlights are getting that worn out look. I was looking for a set of new ones, but I seem to either find really expensive ones or stupid looking racing looking ones. I just want to find a clean looking set. Any ideas. Ideally I would get the clear running lights instead of the amber. That is usually a nice looking upgrade.
