Yes, the light output on the black housing's are terrible. The black inside the housing is eating up the light rather than reflecting it. You can either
a/ throw in hids (this will be better but not great) or
b/ retrofit projectors- this is the best solution. The morimoto mini's can be purchased from here Bi-xenon: Morimoto Mini - HID Projectors from The Retrofit Source LLC
The light output with these are incredible. You will never need to use your highbeams again. It's a very easy mod. Hope this helps
