Default Headlight decision help me decide..

My headlights on my z28 are still cloudy as hell still after sanding a numerous amounts of polish so I think its time for some new ones. I cant decide between new stock ones or black halos. My car is pewter just looking to get some opinions of some other guys.

Take and re-do them but instead of buffing them out, spray them with high clods clear coat. Mine started turning back to the haz and cloudy look but after I sparred them with the clear, they still look the same as when they dried.
