Default OEM Headlights

I know this topic has been beaten to death and everyone has an opinion, but I am looking to find a decent replacement for the OEM housing/light assembly. I don't want anything garish or boy racer looking. In the past I have replaced the old 7" diameter lights with H4 Hellas and been very happy. It seems that all that is available for the Dakota is a bunch of cheezy ricer looking garbage. I've seen people say that they like Silverstars, but from other forums I've also seen that they don't last, sometimes needing replacement after 9 months. My truck is an '01 owned from new and IIRC at most I've replaced the OEM lights once each. I was hoping to find a glass replacement sense or at least one that won't fog over like the period lights do (including high line cars like BMW and MB). I have a cleaning kit for polishing the lenses, but I wanted to find something to replace them.

Otherwise I'll continue to polish them annually and live with the OEM units.

Try looking on ebay they will list many different options how good the product is the question.

I like the crystal headlights they are just clear and only the headlight not a one piece unit they suck.

sames ones I have.

The only issue is that they arent traditionally aimed. I have a stack of washers to bring the beam up.
