I got a pair of Xenon type bulbs (similar to the VisionPlus) from  
eBay for about £10 - sourced from Japan (Kobo Lighting according to  
box).  They have made a substantial improvement to night vision.   
Have been on the bike for about 4000 miles now, and no problems.

Would agree with suggestions to get the lights aligned properly -  
once you have bulbs that actually project a beam you need to worry  
about where that beam goes ;)  Also agree that taking of bit of  
fairing helps with getting access to aim adjusters.  Once you work  
out how to do it, simply removing the cockpit fairing seems to be the  
easiest way.
