Default 2007 quad cab stock headlights are weak! Need to see better

I've never really noticed how poor my stock headlights and fog lights were until driving my wife's Suburban the other night. I can barely see with these things...need to get lights that are brighter and stronger...any ideas>>?
Thanks.

no housing is gonna do anything for you, however HIDs (High Intensity Discharge) will. the lexus and bmw's that you see use a 4300k or you could go for 6000k or 8000k for more color. there is no comparison to these from halogen. grab a set and you wont regret it!

Silverstars in the headlights and Silverstar Ultra's in the driving lights are alot brighter than the stock bulbs in my 08.

Ive got HIDs in my beams and fogs and love them. I can drive around with just the fogs on and see plenty. We just got a Mini Cooper for my wife and it has HIDs in it and she loves them much more than the halogens she had in her other car.

dont even THINK about doing HIDs without a new projector housing. The stock housing thows the light everyone and you'll literally blind every other driver on the road (not to mention they're illegal without a projector). If you'll notice in the video at the very end when the light was on the garage door, you could see the horizontal bar going through the light. Projectors have that shutter
