Default Headlights are toast, options?

Alrighty so the headlights on my 07 are effectively toast. I've tried to polish and restore them in the past, but they have internal UV damage on the lens so polishing doesn't help all that much.

I'm looking into options for a replacement, and so far I've gathered the following:

LS600HL headlights- $800-$1200
Replacement housing- $400-$800
Replacement lens+diy rebuild- $250

I've seen some guides on replacing the lenses myself by baking the headlights and pulling them apart. It frankly looks like a pain.

Has anyone active on the forum replaced their lenses before, and have any insight to offer?

I have an LS600. I don't like the LED headlights. I don't feel the beam pattern is as good and it's too white.

Wouldn't surprise me to be honest, I've heard for an LED headlight they're underwhelming given they were the first on a production car. Maybe worth having mine rebuilt/customized
