I concur, simply removing the lens would do no good. It would be like driving with a pencil (spot) beam, no light to the left or right. I'm guessing that your headlamps are clouded and yellow. Your best bet would be to try to clean the lenses or get a new set of headlamps and make sure you get a set of bulbs that are UV blocking. (Philips Premiums are UV blocking and are 30% brighter than stock)
