Default Civic ES5 Headlights

Hey guys,
the headlights of my civic ES5 2002 are really scratched and misty. There is currently just a really weak light shining about 5 meters. Thats why I need new ones, but in Germany it is hard to find some spare parts for this car. I would appreciate if you guys could help me finding some.
The reason why I ask is because I have no idea which headlights could fit (maybe from EJ9?!) and which ones are quite good to shine in a wide cone of light.
Thanks in advance.

so just the plastic face is milky and hazed? parts might be difficult to get but cleaning solutions and such should be an easy grab. im sure at an autoparts store or such you should have a cleaner meant specifically for cleaning white wall tires? you should also look for a plastic polishing compound here i use Maguire's plastix x. spray a healthy coating of the white wall bleach white on the lense and you should quickly start seeing a nasty brown slime coming off the lense. one or 2 cleanings with that should suffice. after that polish the headlights with the plastic polishing compound. you should be back to a crystal clean lense after that.
