Go to DDM tuning. I think they might be a vendor here. If not check with the evom vendors too. Their 35watt kit is supposed to be OEM replacement but they have a mega bright 55watt kit that should really put out some light.

I would suggest getting a higher watt ballast (55W) and either some 5000k or 6000k bulbs. 5000k has the best light output.

Go with HIR bulbs. They'll give you 90% of the output of HID's @ the same wattage and thermal temperature as the stock bulb and the color temp is sunlight white, instead of bluish.
