I really do not think that the stock Xenons need to be brighter. I think the problem is that they are sitting so low that the light just can not get out far enough.

I thought about putting my 30" light bar from my RZR on the top of the windshield ... :-O

The low height does not help much, but I think it has more to do with the projector it self. My 1990 Corrado with 80/100W Halogen E-codes broadcast much further down the road then M Xenons on high beam with very similar heights off the ground. Like I said earlier, they should have used the center lights as a pencil beam for the highs instead of a dummy with weak angel eyes.

Agreed. I just went out to the garage to measure the bulb heights. The C63 (now lowered 1" less than stock) is only 1/4" higher than the MC.
