    Anyone find a better option than the factory junk? Maybe something with glass lenses that don't turn yellow?

    I bought Depo units at $30 each. Going on the 3rd year, they are still good and didn't turn yellow

    @boneebone & myself purchased some LED headlight bulb in place of the standard bulbs-so far so good.

    Those LEDs can't melt the snow and ice

    I just duct tape a hair dryer over each headlight assembly and turn them on from the inside while I'm driving. :laughing6:

    It works well, plus I can use it to dry my hair before I get back into my truck. :laughing5::laughing5:
     
    Bakerman Thanks this.

    Yup I've got the led bulbs and I'm keeping regular ones in the truck with me in case I run into the "not melting the snow away" problem on the road. The LED bulbs are better but there's only so much they can do through yellow plastic

    I bought and installed the
    Volvo VNL Bi-Xenon (HID) Headlamp Kit v4.0
    is: Volvo VNL Bi-Xenon (HID) Headlamp Kit v4.0 - Deep Space Lighting

    as well as the
    Volvo VNL LED Fog Light Kit
    Volvo VNL LED Fog Light Kit - Deep Space Lighting

    Not cheap but not as expensive as I thought it would be but well thought out and very easy to install. My headlights and fog lights had turned to garbage, very dim and very difficult to drive in. Easy to adjust and not blinding like some others. Well worth the cost when I am driving at night and can see the road ahead now.
