Hello gentlemen.
I got some really good advice on this forum in the past when I was trying to upgrade the headlights on my jeep, so i'm back for more.
I live in a third world city with really bad/non existent street lighting and no automotive lighting regulation beyond my conscious and a sens of good tast
So I just pulled the trigger on a 213 toyota prado TXL. This is the third world toyota branded cousin of the lexus gx460. Looks like this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Toyota_Land_Cruiser_Prado_150.jpg
I had 2 questions
1) The car comes with some halogen fog lights , Toyota part number 81210-0W050. Fog lights are useless to me. Is there a legitimate(non Chinese bling crap) way to change these to some small driving, or flood lights to use on back roads.
2) The top of the headlight assembly is showing some yellowing. Is this something I can fix and control with a 3M headlight Restoration kit, or are new headlight assemblies in my medium term future.
I did some research and lights assemblies seem to be about 300 a pop.

Also what would be the best bulbs for this assembly and would an upgraded harness be worth it ?
Thanks for any help guys
