>My lenses were a bit foggy so i did polish them with a kit the other weekend which worked great. Look brand new.

Great start!

>Just need better lights.

I agree.

>I was looking at these:

No, for many reasons.

  1. Fake reviews:

  2. Scientists have tested 9 LED bulbs in 3 different headlamps for 27 different combinations of LED bulb+halogen headlamp and found that 27/27 combinations failed basic photometric compliance tests for glare and seeing distance. In other words, all 9 LED bulbs robbed you of much needed seeing distance while glaring other drivers in 3 different headlamps.

    The actual upgrade you are looking for are high-performance halogen bulbs. What happens is that stock halogen bulbs are optimized for long-life, so they start out less bright than regular and high-performance halogen bulbs. And then the stock halogens, as they age, lose even more brightness to the point where they could be at like 70% of original light output.

    The solution is fresh, high-performance halogen bulbs:

    Give them a shot. Cheaper than the LEDs and guaranteed to work better. I guarantee these will be brighter than what you have right now.

    If you still feel that you need more lighting, then check back with me and we can figure something out. The cool thing about halogen bulbs is that they get brighter with more voltage applied. I have a relay harness for my cars which connects the bulb directly to the alternator pretty much, so there is minimal voltage loss from the alternator to the headlamp. This boosts brightness significantly.
