Headlight help!
Hello! I need to upgrade my D1S headlights to something much brighter. This is for my wife's ML, she just got a new job requiring her to drive alot in pitch black country roads. The OEM lights aren't bright enough, and this is even after replacing with brand new bulbs/modules.
Can anyone help me with this?

A couple years ago I replaced my plasma d1s bulbs with these from Amazon:
I see they're no longer available, but I bet there's something similar and, by now, far superior. The low beam lighting is awesome, perfect for country roads. The long range throw of the high beam (lifted shutters) is underwhelming but still better than the stock plasma.
Haven't had an issue with icing lenses and I do live in snow country.
