Do they make clearer headlight lenses for my 87 sentra?

idk if they make them clearer but the reflective coating on the lense housing can erode. As in the case of mine. I thought it was just moisture until I took the lense off to reseal it and saw the damage. Then one day, at band camp, it stared me right in the face - a complet headlamp assembly. Excellent condition with a good seal. Like tupperwear man. $10. Now it makes the other lamp look dim.
What does a walrus and tupperwear have in common?

I've changed a few headlight assemblies on older cars. It's amazing the difference. The new ones are crystal clear.

Yeah I kinda figured mine were just gettin old.... any after market light assy's are prolly way more money for just a smidge of difference... I gotta get those super-white ultra bright bulbs too... I'm quite night-blind.. hehe

There's another pic that kinda shows the inside of the lense.

Also if you can get you hands on some JDM sunny headlights, the have less of the "lines" in teh headlight and are designed for H4 bulbs which tend to be brighter than the 9004. Just FYI.
