My stock lens is full of internal micro-cracks and hazes like crazy. I hear you about the small car lens but at least that is easily replaceable. And, on a related note, when I replace it, I am going to consider adding lenticular film to the inside of the replacement lens. Such things exist and are easy to apply. I suppose I could do that right out of the gate but the headlights I purchased already had the lens put on the old assembly and so I am looking for a solution that doesn't require replacing the lens too.
