Add this wiring harness kit to your headlights, that will give them full voltage which will make a difference:

I am using the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs which help also.

ebay, they're everywhere. i've been looking long and hard at the 1,225,992 offerings..
just make sure they have a warranty, and are from the US (shipping stuff for warranty claims overseas will negate the low cost of buying them if it comes to that).

I paid $150 for mine and they've been working great so far... much brighter than any bulb you can buy.
If you don't want HIDs, then I'd go with the heavy duty harness suggested above and Xtravision bulbs. IMO they are brighter than Silverstars.

I said I was going to comment about this again, but I couldn't resist the temptation! 
All I am going to say is that sometimes, a brighter light isn't always better... especially when that brighter light is not made for that reflector. These HID kits have the ability to trick the eye into thinking you have better visibility, just because its a brighter whiter light, yet you really dont. Your best bet is to do a lot of research and then make the decision you feel comfortable with. I just hope if you do decide to go HID in your stock housing that I am not around to be blinded by ya 
Take a look on this forum: www.hidplanet.com It is a forum dedicated to people who use HID kits, and who do complete HID retrofits. Another site is: www.danielsternlighting.com Good luck with your choice.
