I was always tempted to do that on my Volvo. The later-style U.S. lamps had plastic lenses that fogged over from UV exposure and cut the light output. At least with the old sealed beams you got a new lens with every bulb change.

"These Headlights are for an SE and they are brighter than the SDL originals but they do not accomodate the headlight wipers anymore.
