Headlights problems - high beams

I had a professional retrofitter install some RX330 projectors into my headlights. The problem is when they blacked out the headlights they painted the reflector lenses for the high beams..

Now I have no working high beams and need some kind of alternate solution. Does anyone have any advice for me? They were suggesting using some CREE bulbs like this - Amazon.com: Genssi 2x 80W CREE White 9005 HB3 High Power LED 12V DRL Fog Light LED Lamp: Automotive Amazon.com: Genssi 2x 80W CREE White 9005 HB3 High Power LED 12V DRL Fog Light LED Lamp: Automotive
But it doesn't seem like that will provide much light either. Does anyone have experience using these? Am I SOL unless I get new headlights?

This is a cross-post from the electrical forum. I wasn't sure what the correct place to post this was.

now idk if this would work but its a thought....you could always find some tinted mirrors and line the part that used to be chrome with them...that may or may not work...probably wont be as bright as you want it to be though
