Brightest headlight available

What is the brightest head light a person can purchase?
I would like to find something that the low beam is legal and the high beam is extra bright .
We have canyons with lots of elk and deer and no traffic, I would like to be able to increase my distance at night on high beam. Any ideas?Thanks

I went with the PIAA Super Plasma GT-X H4 replacement bulb. Here's a link to the one that I got. It's the third one down, Part No. 70476.

I finally made it back stateside and within an hour of picking up my Deluxe I put a HID light on it. Huge difference and legal too...bad news is that the ballast box is a REALLY tight fit in the headlight bucket and the cost is about $190, but worth it. The kit is all plug-n-play. The company is out of Oceanside, CA. There was an article in Hot Bikes not long ago on how to put one in. I'll look for the company's info and post up later.
