It's OK to drive in Jersey with stock C5 headlights. All the roads are very well lit. You don't really even need headlights.
I commuted for years on the turnpike, the parkway and all the X95s and X87s and never felt I needed better lights. (I couldn't tell if they were on!)
I only needed headlights coming up the driveway. So I could see the deer.

Yes the stock lights are not that bright. But instead of installing a system that does not pop up, think about using options such as the Sleepy Eye. You still get to use the pop up feature , it only pops up about a third of the distance as the factory set up and you get LED lights. They look way cool. Then there are also other LED lights that fit into the stock set up. But as stated earlier, the C5 is the last of the pop up/rotating setups and it would be a shame to dismantle that.
