Default headlight help

So I picked up a 02 z28 a few months ago and it had some nasty looking headlights with the yellow grit and all. I used some headlight restoration kits and cleaned them up nice but even afterwards they were still really cloudy and not clear at all. I repeated the steps over and over and they still ended up cloudy after i was done. I said screw it and ordered a set of halos and I got them tonight and wow they fit like complete **** I cant even get them to screw on without being in a good position plus I think they look stupid. I feel like ive wasted money can anyone give me some advice should I just buy new stock ones or is there any way i can fix mine old headlights?

if you're going to buy new ones i'd find stockers with the whistler mod already done to them. i'm not really a fan of halos myself

change the housing out with oem and they will fit fine and clear coat your lens as well so they don't glare up or you can wax them.
