New bulbs may help, just don't pay the Porsche tax.
There are alternatives that do the same job with the same light output. I've found the biggest issue with 10+ year old Lits to be discoloration and deterioration of the reflectors reflective finish. Not a lot can be done about that.

Thanks, I may be screwed either way cause I stupidly bought an extra set of xenon bulbs way way back when they were like over $100 per bulb. Not sure what I was thinking. Didn't know the first set were gonna last this long. I'm amazed actually cause I use them quite often (even when I drive in the daytime so that others see me). Thing is, the bulbs I think are only like $40 for one now. Lol.

Not sure how my reflectors are...they seem ok, but who knows...
