For sure, Darryl... an effective upgrade is well within reach. Pull that dim bulb out of there and replace it with one of several PIAA H4 bulbs available. Arguably, PIAA makes the best and brightest replacement bulbs available. They are a bit spendy, but get the job done by virtually doubling output without increasing power consumption.

The PIAA H4 bulbs are an improvement, but make sure you carry a spare bulb with you. I have tried several PIAA bulbs, and each time they burned out within 6 months. Currently I have the stock bulb (the original one) installed, and have a set of driving lamps installed.

I have a HID kit installed on my Tiger (low beam only) and it makes a huge difference. The HID uses only 35 watts and puts out over 3 times more light than a conventional 55 watt Halogen bulb. the 55 Watt HID kits put out over 5 times more light than a conventional Halogen bulb.
