The Ford Bronco headlights demonstrate why we legislated sealed beam headlights for so many years.  Not only does the plastic lens cloud with age but he interior mirror tarnishes.

I don't know what was used on my '92 U225 but driving at night is not a comfortable option right now.

I've used this on both the coach and toad. Not a 'brand new' look, but worth a try. ^.^d

That or a similar product plus new bulbs may make enough of a difference.

But LED headlights are So bright!

LED bulbs were a HUGE improvement on our GV  HUGE..
 And I get flashed way more often in the 18 wrangler with LEDs than the coach ( once ) so apparently the coach headlight upgrade is not offensive to oncoming traffic.

Like you, we changed to LED's. Cheap as chips on ebay. Then polished the lenses.
Tested them on a dark road with no street lights in Yuma after I installed them. Not one person gave me the brights to dim.
Vision was 100% better (I had retina detachments, so my night vision is weak).
Some FT customers back in the day, had us wire a relay, so all 4 low beams are on at once.Easy to do.
I just changed the outer's to LED, plenty bright, no reason to hook all 4 up.
