Default NEW HID's - Anyway to make them brighter?

Looking to see if anyone on the Forum did any modifications to make them brighter. I would also like to the FOG lights to match.

IMO the 13' HID's are ridiculously bright. My 2010 didint hold a candle to these, you could get different temperature HID's if you want but 4700k factory is definitely the best and most consistent light pattern.

I dont think its possible to get them any brighter. You could always put HID's in the fogs also.

I had 6000's in my 10 so maybe I'm just used to that brightness. Also put HID's in the FOGS but they melted the housings so if anyone could direct me on which ones work I'll order them up.

The high beams are really bright, but the lows aren't as bright as other vehicles I've owned or my wife's VW.

Tux sells a EVOX kit you can retro in the 13 housings, I believe it's a direct bolt in. It should drastically improve over the OE projector.

this. it's a complete D2S setup that he sells but its well worth it. you have to open the headlights and replace the projectors but the EVOX-R has the same exact dimensions as the OEM projector so it's still not too difficult.
