Question Awfull high beams on 06. Aftermarket ideas?

Hi guys,
The high beams in my 06 2500 are awfull. Both bulbs function properly but the light pattern needs to be concentrated better. How have you guys improved the stock headlamps? I don't need to change the fogs, they work well with the low beams. Can I run better PIAA bulbs or are there better alternatives? Are there companies that make new light housings with better high beams and reflectors that are designed to work with the aftermarket bulb?

I have Piaa's in my 06 3500 4x4 now and they are great! When I buy my new mega cab i'll put a set in it .. I use my truck for work and they really help when I am out in BFE lookin for a car.

well worth the 75 bucks~

Did you just swap to PIAA bulbs or did you have to wire in relays, fuses, and aftermarket switches?

I have the brite box with the fogzilla on my truck and just the brite box on my wife's 06. Both trucks light up the road nicely on high beams.
