which lights for brighter lights

I put in some xenon bulbs for headlights in my 95, now the lights next to them look really dim, is there a brighter bulb I can put in or a way to fix this?
Here's what it looks like right now:

I have a similar question. Which aftermaket headlight bulbs (not HID's) will match the color of the Polarg M14's from custommaxima. I tried some pta(?) xenon superwhites and they were way to blue. Thanks for any feedback.

Try getting the same brand as the headlights. I love my PIAAs and they are DOT approved too.

I dont have a link to the writeup, but you guys did re-wire the corner lights right? The difference is huge.

There is no law stating how bright your corners can be. As long as you are not projecting a blue or red light (or a tint thereof) from the front, you are fine. I have brightened corners with orange bulbs, and it looks like fire. I drive around with only those on at dusk. In fact, passed a cop coming in the opposite direction at 9:00 p.m. last night with only those orangies on, he didn't even bright me to turn on my headlights. Bright is best.

Do you have a picture at night with the orange bulbs?
