You could get an auxiliary light kit, from your local dealer.

If you want a bigger light altogether, you can go with an 8" light. But you might not like that look.

Did you just replace the lamps or the whole bucket? I put on a adjure trillient glass and 60w bulb and think the difference is super. Now I have the white lite, much better vision into the road ditches, plus no blind spots as with the stock unit. Actually my buds complain when riding in front of me that my lite is too bright and they can't see cagers coming from behind in their mirrors.

Try putting on a hi/lo dual xenon bulb with a mini ballast. I put one on my rdking 2 yrs ago and haven't had any problems.
