Default 2011 Headlight Issue..Upgrade?

I just got my 2011 FX4 ecoboost truck a few weeks ago and I LOVE IT! Beautiful interior, well crafted engine but there is a problem when it gets dark. The headlights look badass but are so big that they diffuse the light to the point where night driving becomes annoying from lack of "brightness"

What would be the best way to resolve this issue?
Should I buy a better halogen bulb if there is any or should I go ahead and spend the money and a get a HID retrofit?

THANK YOU

Hids, try ddm tuning. We have h13 bixenon bulbs. 6000k is what I use...nice color vs light output
