Absolutely loads of stuff on here about upgrading standard Halogen headlights to Xenon either by way of HIDS4U replacement units or wholesale replacement using OEM headlight fittings. Just do a quick search on Xenon Upgrade and stand back for the deluge.
And then info on upgrading just about every other lamp in the car to exotic units.
Myself, I already had adaptive Xenons but have a set of Osram H7 Night Breakers to upgrade the fill in/driving/main-beams when it's warm enough to dismantle the front of the car...
If you want the quick, simple & cheap route these might be an easy first option for the regular Halogen lamps upgrade.

Ah - with you now!
I have a feeling that anything in the 100W line is illegal for highway use. Others will probably know better than I though. Plus, the LR Xenons are pretty fine anyway.
You could always try upping the main-beams to xenon. That lot should melt the snow ahead

Yes it is illegal, i put 80/100 in my old vehicle, big difference, got through mot no trouble.
Plod has no means of checking at roadside.
I'm pretty sure the authorities only allow a certain power for headlights.
I like your led interior lights, going to do the same in front as well.
Got to be very careful with electrical extras, as you know with this Cambus system.
Cheers
