    That's why many of us have upgraded those front round marker lights....(they're not considered driving lights).
    Have seen several choices:

    1)- Some have installed Malibu 18w light bulbs from HomeDepot. About $5 each bulb .

    2) - etlsport, Grif and I installed some 25 LED tower bulbs that were really bright, and they run cool cuz they're LEDs...a few owners in the past have found certain other types of bulbs melt the housing. About $20 for both.

    3)
    A few years back, a few owners installed Hella Micro DE lights (and then some upgraded those bulbs to HIDs - Rowhard was one who did). About $150 for 50w set. About $500+ for HID set.

    4) A newer option is to install some high power LEDs. YellowGizmo did it with a set he got on ebay. He had to modify the surround slightly, here's his thread. About $150 for both:

    I then decided to upgrade mine to some super bright LEDs, just about the same as YellowGizmos, but a different brand (Vision-X, about $300).
    Scroll down about halfway in this single post I made:

    You can see there's several options now....(with vastly different prices too), so you can decide what works for you!
