Hiya, and welcome to the forum (madhouse)

LOL..... The same problem we all have...

Only way is to upgrade to Xenon plus (50% brighter) on both beams (which I have).

Or go the whole hog & get an HID conversion kit. Some folks say you only need the low beam doing as the main is just a "fill in"...

depends how deep your wallet isbrok3

may see you out there one day(not too far from you)... We have a 99 one as well.

Cheers,

Rolfy

Depends on your budget but as Rolfy says.. best without doubt is the HID kits ( I currently have them ?40 off at ?195 :p ).. But failing that I also do a bike specific 100w intense white replacement that an awful lot of the guys on here have found a worthwhile upgrade.. they are about ?9.00 a pop...

Pop along to this page and select what you fancy looking at :p

I can highly recommend the HID kit.....

Bought mine off Jaws a while ago and the difference between the 100watt Xenon and the HID is like chalk & cheese!! The HID is simply out of this world!!

If you have the budget, go for the HID. You'll never look back....

But it's dangerous not to look back from time to time, there are blind spots you know.
