Have you tried Sylvania silver star bulbs? How clear are the lenses? There is the problem of blinding oncoming drivers which you don't really want to do.
those Sylvania Silverstar bulbs are nothing but marketing hype...
if you want to upgrade the bulbs, and have 14V at the terminal w/ no voltage drop (meaning all electrical supply problems are solved first), then HIR bulbs are the best upgrade for anyone who doesn't want to step up to HID lights and the super expensive housing modifications to make them work.
Well it's marketing hype that made it a lot easier for me to see at night on the three cars I installed the Ultras in. So that's good enough for me to recommend them.

I just cracked open the relay and blocked the lever inside to get hi/lo at the same time. Took about 30 seconds to do and was free.

However running hi and low at the same time will create more heat and shorten lifespan.
Possibly causing *both* filaments to go out. And lights go out when you need to use them.
To make a light brighter, you need to send it more voltage and/or reduce the voltage drops (as has been mentioned).
