Default how bright are your headlights?

In my car my headlights seem to be really dim. When I look from the outside they seem fine, but they do not illuminate the road like some of the other cars. I have also tried installing hyper white 55w lights, but they come out even worse. Just wondering if this is the fault of the B5 design, a technical problem with my car or am I just an idiot with a stupid question? Please let me know.

changed the bulbs to hyper-white from luminicsbulbs.com. has not really helped at all. I will try play around with the angle. I do not know whether they are projection or not. I guess I will wait until my next A4 to get HIDs. Already 97k on my baby.
