Default Headlight Question

I just got my first LS1 camaro. The headlights suck. My WS6's were way brighter. I dont know if its cause the lenses are a little bit obscured (They are not clear anymore) Is there an led Head light made for our cars? I was looking at some headlights on Ebay. Anyone know if the Ebay lights are plug n play? I just want something a little brighter. Any suggestions are welcome.

The LED head lights on Ebay are a joke. The HID's do work good though, you want the 4300 Kelvin, any higher and they show up blue. 4300K produces the most light.

Just clean them up, once clean you will then say how much better the light output is compared to a Firebird/TransAm.
