For a while I had an issue with my ZKW Bi-xenon headlights being too dim. I bought new xenon bulbs but that didn't fix the issue.
I then read about headlight retrofit kits and decided to give RetrofitLab a try.
Here's the video to my retrofit process. I encountered a few hiccups but overall, I was very happy how much the light output improved.

I remember looking into the Morimotos but I was a little confused with their options. I wasn't sure which ones were right for my car and the price was a little higher than the retrofitlab. Do you currently have these in your car?
Another option would be to do a swap with OEM units thru this forum member.

This will probably be the route I go one of these days. I like that I don’t have to do any permanent changes to the headlight unit like drilling holes etc.
