Wow lots to look into here, Red Pill Blue Pill!Ok, the LX has the factory projectors (I assume it’s still the original one from factory) and you want better output? With the moisture inside, first thing is to fully inspect the headlight assembly, hopefully there’s no holes/cracks. You may end up needing to crack open the lens from the assembly. Since you have it opened already you now have different options.
• Option 1: block off the squirrel finder holes, or just leave it them as it is. Put on another set of reputable LED bulbs.
• Option 2: put on an HID system - different brands, different color temperatures and different ballast wattage.
• Option 3: full retro work, pull the factory project lens, put on an aftermarket bracket to accommodate the aftermarket projector lens you have selected. Match it with a good light source, can be HID system or LED bulb, whatever floats your boat.
• Option 4: inline with option 3, you can opt for an bi-focal LED projector (meaning no need to put in an HID system nor an LED bulb) because that LED projector has an integrated light source.
These are just some of the options you can consider, the rabbit hole of HL retrofitting is deep
I noticed also that my lenses on muly 2002 LX Look much better than my current 2006, Same terrible output tho.
Of the options you gave, what's the most low impact route to take if I'm a DIY guy, say a one banana job?
job type of DIY I’d say easiest would be is to block off the squirrel finders. After you have cracked the lens from the assembly, reapply butyl sealant (lots of inexpensive options in amazon and video tutorials in YouTube on how it’s done) to address the condensation inside the housing.
