Default 2007 train headlight question

The stock headlight on my 07 Train seems, well...horrible to say the least. It doesn't seem like it throws much light out in front of the bike at all. I've tried adjusting it with a little success but it just doesn't seem bright enough. I've checked out the Harley LED headlight, but it's pretty expensive. I was checking out the dual halogens available at JPcycles...any other ideas/thoughts? The stock light has a visor on it, but I don't think that would make too much of a difference in regards to light projection.

I put on a Adjure T50400 Tri-Bar. It comes with a 60/55W Osram Nightbreaker bulb and is a world of difference. About $75 through J&P Cycles. Others in here have been putting in Bi-Xenon kits that can be had on eBay pretty inexpensively. Here's a pic of mine, not a very good one, though:

Thanks for the response. I'll have to check out that setup in the catalog. I was thinking of a Bi-Xenon or HID setup, but I don't think the housing is big enough to hide the ballast? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing which is very possible lol

Tuck the ballast up underneath the dash console, otherwise you need to procure a 7" bucket if you want everything stuffed in there.

That is a stock 5 3/4 FXST headlight with the H-D Frenched trim ring on it.
There is a couple big threads in here about going with the Bi-Xenons, here's one.

There are many kits available on eBay. I have considered one, but am pretty happy with the light output from what I have now. My suggestion would be to get the light as I have or something similar and put a Bi-Xenon in it.
