Improved bulb on m696 '08?

The headlight on my m696 is... terrible! All's 'OK' if nobody is coming the other way, but if a car with half-decent headlights comes towards me... I'm kinda in the dark!

Any recommendations on a quick-fix for now? - Even if a slight improvement for now whilst I consider things like replacing the loom if needed!? Reason = long nighttime ride tomrw night, and back again - both in the dark.

Any recommendations on bulbs that'd be better? I know I may not be able to go up in power, but in light spectrum etc maybe?

Any tips appreciated, both short-term and longer-term

Cheers!
