Vitz Headlight Problem Help Please

Im having a bit of trouble with the headlights on my Toyota Vitz 2008. Even after replacing the halogen bulbs and buffing the lights, the visibility isnt great. I did try installing a relay, which helped for a bit, but the issue is back again.

Im wondering if switching to LED lights could be a good idea and if they can be used for the fog lamps too. Right now, my car has HID lights for the high beams and halogen bulbs for the low beams. Do you have any suggestions o r experience with this? Id love to hear your thoughts.

It is not recommended to use HIDS in halogen housings. Instead, it is advisable to invest in good projectors that can be retrofitted for a permanent solution. This is because the beam produced by HIDS will never be perfect in halogen housings due to the design of the housings.

Halogen housings are specifically designed to reflect lights at certain angles, and when HIDS are used, the focus is disrupted, resulting in an imperfect beam.
