Restoring vs Replacing rear & front lights?

[Grizz1963]

Another one of those topics I guess could come up from time to time.

Some of you may know that my truck will be getting a comprehensive tear down some time soon.
I have bought a complete E-Z Wiring loom.
So the original plan of re-using all the lights has gone south.
My rear brake light lenses and bodies are cracked and rusty
Park lights are very crusty
Headlights are milky on the lenses.

So it seems I will be biting the bullet and replacing much of them.
Of course restoring is an option as well but I have no set opinions or views.

So what is the collective opinions?

Also, if I went on to replace, are there specific dealers/brands to avoid etc??

I know that my side mouldings are being sourced from Mar-K.

Any pointers at better deals/dealers will be appreciated

Thanks as always.
