stock HID color is 4,300k, that is the best lumen output your gonna get, there is no such thing as a brighter bulb. The best you could do is upgrade to 55 watt kit, over the stock 35 watt, but that requires bulb and ballast.

but you guys have projector HIDs how could it not be any good?

You can't just buy "brighter bulbs" for HIDs. All bulbs will pull the same amount of power. You would need to get ballasts and either get some DL50 bulbs or overdrive your stock bulbs.

Alternately, you could just do a retrofit.
