No glass ones that Im aware of, but you've got a couple of options -

Black or Chrome Halo's
Black housings similar to Whistler headlights from a non-sponsor
Ebay style similar to Halo's but with 2 lights, instead of a 3rd LED ring.
Or OEM replacements (expensive as hell)

a nice wetsanding and polish could save a lot of money if you still like the stock lights

If his lights are that bad tho, the wetsanding may not even be worth it.

And going with aftermarket headlights is still cheaper then OEMs lol.

I bought some stock looking aftermarket ones off of ebay. If you're patient you'll find some for a good price. I found one for $40 new and paid $80 for the other one. They're aftermarket but they fit fine and make the car look sso much better than the old hazy yellow ones I had on there before.
