Default Whaich headlights should I get?

I really need to replace the cloudy headlights on my 1996 GT. I don't think that tinted would be a good idea because I'm not sure if they are legal and I don't want to upgrade to HID yet. I'm looking for some that are good quality, won't fog or discolor. I'd like something better looking than stock but not too ricey. I also need to find some new fog lights to replace my broken ones.

I remember seeing some nice looking clear ones that people were recommending a few years ago. I think the brand was blue oval but not sure.

Thanks for the help and opinions.

I've got these and love them: http://www.americanmuscle.com/9498-c...hts-amber.html

Although I kind of wish I had gotten these ones instead now: http://www.americanmuscle.com/9498-b...hts-amber.html

They're black, but not tinted, so it doesn't affect light output at all.

Those look great. Did you have to seal them? Do they fog up?

They haven't fogged on me yet, I've had them for just over a year now. It wouldn't hurt to seal them to be safe though, just with some silicone around the seams.

I have a buffer that takes care of the fog out headlights. Saves me and my friends money all the time. You can get them cleaned up by just buying the kit at your local auto parts store. Mc guiers sells a kit.
