Default Headlights are not lighting up the road enough. Any Tips?

I lowered my CRX fairly low and only have about 3" clearance. Since then I noticed that my lights are not lighting up the road nearly as nice as I would like. Driving at night is really difficult without highbeems and it is a pain having to turn them on and off every 10 sec as a passing car comes by. Is there a way that I can increase the yield of my non highbeems? I mean is there some bulbs or HID kit that would word? Is there a way to angle my lights upwards a bit so that I can still pass safety and light up the road better? Anyone have any suggestions or prices on what you paid for your HIDs?

park on a flat surface, in front of a wall/garaage about 10 feet away, and adjust them until it seems like it will be in people's eyes, and then go down slightly.

you can buy some silver stars if you dont want HID's. they are greatly improved over the stock bulbs.

crx headlights suck: PERIOD.

I suggest getting HID driving lights over putting HID in your stock housing.

After I lowered my car, I had to readjust my lowbeams. I aimed them up almost as high as they'll go and they now light up the road perfectly. Love my HID's....
