My daughter just got a 2012 CX-9. The stock halogens were way too dim. My wife refused to drive it at night because she said she could hardly see the road.
So I started out with a cheaper LED headlight. The first set was slightly brighter, but not dramatically so. I return that set at got a full set of Sealight X4 lamps for both low and high beam.

These photos were taken after a heavy downpour, so road is still wet and not reflecting as much light as dry pavement, but even so, it is quite bright. Notice the cutoff is well defined on the low beam. No glare to oncoming traffic, yet the road is brightly illuminated.

What I like about the Sealights are that they engineered the chips to be smaller and in the same size and position as the tungsten filament of the original bulb, making them work properly and produce a correct beam pattern with the existing headlamp system. Other brands I've tried use larger chips that produce a fuzzy beam that produces lots of glare.
