Replace the pair with OEM Philips or Osram bulbs at 4300K (under $100 for the pair) and trust me you will see a big improvement.

Thanks for that info RB. I thought I was going blind because the halogen fog lights seemed brighter than the HID low beams no matter how well polished the lens housing is. I wouldn't be surprised to learn now that my 269,500 miles is past their "expected life"!
2002 X5 3.0 269,500 miles
2004 325i 117,700 miles
