Default Brightest Fixed Headlight Set-Up Possible

Since HID systems aren't available anymore (at least new ones from a vendor), are there any other set up combos for fixed headlights which are as bright as the T84 European headlights? I upgraded to them, and they are a great improvement over stock. I've also added PIAA driving/fog lights, too.

But, I've been told by a vendor that the standard fixed headlight set up isn't nearly as bright as the T84's. He even advised me against buying the fixed headlight system from his own company.

I like the look of the fixed, and I'm getting more annoyed with the appearance of the headlight bezels, as well as the recent pop eye headlight problem which started a week or two ago. I'm still undecided about the supplemental lights I've seen which mount where the front license plate cover is. But, paired with the dimmer fixed system and PIAA lights, I'm sure it'd be bright.

So, any ideas or set ups out there that are bright? Possibly upgraded fixed system bulbs? Thanks for any ideas/info.
