I think a true Xenon system will cost you a fortune, and may require quite a bit of modification to your car.

You can buy bulbs that are said to have Xenon gas in them - the truth is they only have a little Xenon gas in them which helps the standard Halogen gas burn even brighter - but hey every little bit of brightness helps.

The brand of legal replacement bulb that won during brightness tests here in the UK was: Phillips Vision Plus. I fitted them in my G20 and I believe that they have made a difference.

As an alternative some people have gone for bulbs that have a special coating on the glass that makes them have a lazer blue kind of glow - they are real good for letting other drivers see your coming, but they don't burn much brighter and so don't really help you see the road ahead better.
