Either stick with factory Xenon (I have the Xenon system in my 2003 and it's fine) or get a good halogen upgrade bulb. They have high performing halogens such as Philips NightGuide Platinum that do a really nice job, IMO. They certainly have way more output than the 9006 capsules I grew up driving around at night.
Yeah don't just drop in LEDs. Some new cars (looking at you, Hyundai/Acura/most Ford/GM trucks) LED headlights are absolutely blinding at night. After cataract surgery last year all LEDs appear with haloes, and the brighter they are, the further the haloes impinge on the scene. If I have to adjust my side/rearview mirrors to avoid being blinded, your lights are TOO F'ING BRIGHT.
