Default Seriously, what upgrades for 95 lights

Seriously, what upgrades for 95 lights ?
I swapped in some crummy LEDs, the kind you sweat the old lamps from the reflectors and glue the LEDs in.
It was a long shot that was worth the effort other than the illumination is rubbish.
Should I go with Sylvania super duper lamps or what ?
I am open to all price ranges as I like driving at night but 73 year old eyes need maximum help.

I ended up sticking the pricey Genssi pieces in. Not impressed. Silly me. Tricky to focus, will have to spend more time on them, they simply can't be this bad !!

some guys wire in the driving lights and low beams to come on with high beams. I just don't drive the car at night less I have to.

I tried some kind of lights in place of my driving lights years ago but they was too bright and I kept getting flashed when low beams was on so I switched back.

I focused these units today and I think I had them way off so I have to wait for the next night trip.
I did drive at 3am in a deluge the other night to the vet with an ailing puppy onboard, still could see enough to go 70mph !!
I'm just really fussy about seeing as much as possible including small creatures lurking in the darkness.
Next upgrade will be the fog lights.
BTW, my high beams come on with the low beams so there's no shortage of lumens, just where they go is the issue.

Word of experience.
The Genssi units are rubbish, low power and stoopid to focus.
Sad waste of money.
