silver stars would be cheaper or just go straight to HIDs. if you wanna spend a little more money buy HIDs AND projectors

97-03 GP headlights suck at directing/distributing light, and adding more light won't change this fact. Light distribution has as much impact on nighttime visibility (or probably more of an impact) as the total amount of light.
If you have the money, I'd recommend the Spyder projectors. Even with the alignment problems (they will be slightly "cross-eyed"), they do a much better job of focusing the light than any other solution I've seen for our car. There is a new version available with CCFL halos, but I don't know if they've fixed the alignment problems.
If you don't want projectors, I'd recommend first either getting new capsules or wet-sanding and polishing your current ones. The cloudy plastic lenses significantly reduce the output. Next, I'd recommend a premium clear glass halogen bulb (the Philips XTreme Power +80 is the best 9007 you'll find). These bulbs do produce slightly more light (within the allowable tolerances of the 9007 specification), but also have a more precisely crafted filament, which yields a better beam pattern.
Here's a good explanation of the different types of bulbs out there. Look for the long post from Scheinwerfermann (5th post down). It's long, but it's definitely worth reading.

Pssh... you have no room to talk. Your GP had like 14 headlights...

^Haha, yea the stock housings suck no matter what kind of bulbs you put in them, go for some projectors and hid's!

What are CCFL halos? Are these easy to put in? Do they just plug and play?
03-17-2010
basically "neon" lights instead of LED.
you either get the LED version or the CCFL version.

Ok, this is a good one for me also, because im having the same headlight issue. I know nothing about projectors. Do you just plug them in? Or do you have to buy a kit like how you have to do for hid's?

I have the same problem at least I have a few directions to look into.
