Question Lighting upgrade question

I want to upgrade the headlights and driving/fog lights on my TA. I'm after more light on the road, and I do not want to go "blue"

The stock headlights are okay, but are there other options out there to get more light on the road? The stock driving/fog lights are a joke - almost totally useless. I've heard you need to be careful in upgrading the lower driving/fog lites in that some elements will generate too much heat and melt the housing. I use my driving/fog lites whenever my headlites are on so that is a concern.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

ps - cost is a factor too - the wife reviews the expenditures around here so I have to keep it within reason :-)

I got simulated HID bulbs from Plasma Industries.
They do have a blue-ish tint though.
Got them for the low-beams, high-beams, and fog lights.
Total cost was $70.

Thanks for the info on Plasma Industries. I went to their web site but you can't order from there. Where did you go to buy your bulbs?
