If you wet sand the oxidation off of them and then re clear them they will look new, and last for a good while. Don’t skip the clear, they will oxidize right back if you do.

What Aqua said... Pull the front bumper off to get better access and sand all of the oxidation off wet sanding. Then spray a high quality automotive grade 2k clear and they should look good for a long time. They key is a quality clear coat. I have had headlights look good for many years doing it this way. The kits at the parts stores only work for a short period of time.
If you just want to replace them, look for a set of factory used ones. Those halos are hard to replace without buying oem. Just buy from someone who can prove that they were working prior to removing, or buy from a seller with a warranty. Maybe try ebay? Or Leecparts . com

Just swap to LED or HID bulbs? Lol

There shouldn’t be an issue, even though it supposedly uses halogen projectors instead of HID or LED ones. I’ve done this before in cars with halogen projector headlamps, and haven’t really blinded anyone. If you are, then it’s most likely using a NON-PROJECTOR headlamp housing, with traditional reflector housings… |
