I bought some HID 8000k headlights for my 95 Ranger in December. I love them and they look great on my truck, however they are not as bright as they could be because my stock lenses are junk. I tried polishing them with everything from wax to toothpaste. However, even though they got a little clearer they're not anywhere near what they could be. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a good, but decently priced set of lenses. Preferably not OEM replicas but something aftermarket that is clear. Any immediate feedback would be awesome. Thanks.
 
HIDs don't work well with standard lenses. Here is a link to an interesting bit of reading regarding head lights. http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/usmcdoc/lights/index.php Somewhere I did some reading about just why putting HID lamps in your stock buckets isn't a good idea but I can't remember the link to that.

Many places in the USA HID conversions are illegal so make certain you check with local law enforcement before ending up with a nasty citation for not being able to meet DOT regs.
