      Sorry, I'm a little late for the party.
      You can do everything yourself for under $500.
      If your headlights are dim, you need to replace the housings and install LED lamps.
      Replacing the entire housing is just about the same procedure as changing the lamps.
      The halogen lamps cook the reflective surface off of the inside of the housing.
      If you replace the lamps with Halogen or HID, they will just cook off the reflective surface again.
      Dont do it .
      If you just replace the lamps, It will not improve your night driving.
      Buy LEDs from Diode Dynamics. The lamps are $150.
      Several on-line stores will sell you the pair of housings for about $300.
      This is one of them:

      Thank you for your feedback. I want to make sure i fully understand your thermology. It seams like you are using "housing" and "LED lamps" interchangeable to represent the entire headlamp. When you say housings are you referring to the entire headlamp or the actual reflector/housing that failed? When you say LED lamps are you referring to the entire headlamp on not the LED lights? Can the reflector/housing be purchased separately? BTW, I changed to LED bulbs and it gave me a minimal improvement. I makes sense to me that the failing reflector is the main cause of the dim lights. Thank you for your feedback.
