No, they they had outrageously good lights, even when the reflectors are totally stuff they still work better than most import modern cars.

well yeah, thats expected with plastic lenses especially when they get old.

I found on VN-VS they can get worse than normal, as soon as you wash the glass and remove all contamination it brings the light output back to new. They are quite sensitive to lens contamination.

Our old VN wasn't to bad once you did a bulb upgrade, never much liked the VS headlights, on the VX I changed to some after market units projector style and a bulb upgrade to get decent light output.
