Cayenne (2005) headlight replacements
Porsche Experts... reaching out for your expert advice!
Over the years my 05 Cayenne's (base model) headlight has gotten yellowish and i've had it cleaned but that didn't last very long. As a result of that headlights or beams are not being very bright and gives me less visibility in rain/dark. I don't wanna put Xenon lights as i've heard from you guys that is can cause damage. So Xenon is out. As i'm looking on Amazon, these are my choices I see.
1st inquiry: Has any one of u used any of these bulbs? If so, which one u recommend? Tell me the # next to it please so that I know which one to order.
#1. (Phillips Crystal Vision Bright Headlight)
#2. (SYLVANIA H7 SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb)
#3.
2nd inquiry: Has anyone actually replaced the whole light unit? I'm seeing these options and want to know your expert opinion please.

If this is a plug and play and does not require a whole lotta work or change any cables/circuits etc, I'd much rather just replace both light fixtures.
As always THANK U GUYS for your valuable response.
Stay safe.
