Why not get another HID set? That would be my response.

Apart from that, don't fall into the trap of thinking that a higher wattage is necessarily brighter.

Yes and no. Brighter? Yes, but better? Not necessarily, since on cheaply made bulbs, and SOME VERY expensive ones, quite a lot of light is wasted, scattered every where.

If it were me and HIDs weren't in the frame, I'd go for a set of Philips Vision Plus or similar, the 90% uprated ones are good. They are brighter, AND optically accurate, so focus the light properly
