I need to buy new headlights. Even though mine are still legal the lenses are beyond yellow and gives a rather dim light. I want to go ahead and get these performance headlights for the combo of brighter light and great look. How are these ones? and hows the pricing. It's not something I can afford really soon but definitely something i can get in a few months.

Nice thanks Buddy

I would avoid APW like the plague. Just do a google for "Auto parts warehouse" scam and you'll see what I mean.
WOW I appreciate that very much! Seemed like such a trustworthy site too

This will be great for the time being! I priced the stuff at autozone 7 bucks a bottle but wasn't sure it would work. I'm gonna pick some up
 
The process I used, can't find a link to the original howto (it was on a Mustang site):

1. If you have the adjustment "bumps" take a dremel and cut them off
2. Using some wet/dry sand sand the crap out of your lense. I used 400 - 800 - 1000 - 1500 - 2000 grit (yes, 5 passes, and two sheets of the higher count stuff).
3. Then do a pass or two of Meguire's polish.

I've done it to both my Accord and my Ranger and it was night and day. It may not get all the yellow off, but it will get all but the most deep scratches out which I found were causing the most problems. Light hits a scratch and it scatters, so you lose the tight beam pattern and start lighting who knows what.
 
Ebay is a pretty good source for Ranger parts, I got a set of Projectors for my 96 that came with 2 headlights / 2 corners for about $130 shipped, they were pretty nice, but they needed to be "modified" to work for my truck, they were pretty cheaply made.
 
what did you have to do with them ive been looking at thoes
