Mike, have you considered the quality of the front lens? If they are original on an '87, they are probably pitted and that causes a scattering of light and increased glare above the line of sight in rain/fogg/snow. I am now getting ready to replace mine on a '90. After trying to polish them out I decided it wasn't worth the time. I'm am optician and have access to the grinding and polishing compounds, but the time and pressure needed to do the job was more than I was willing to put into it. I'm estimating that I would have to polish each lens/cover for about 4 hours and that was just to clean 'em up a little. Just having new clean headlights will be a vast improvement in light.
