    Fog lamps increase the flood of lighting down and to the sides, plus are legal for wof to run with low beam just must be powered up off the headlight circuit (i.e. can't be turned on without at least low beam powered up). High beam is easier as you say, as you can run a pair of LED spot/flood combo units and good to go.

    The existing setup is limited in what you can achieve - the standard reflectors in the headlamp units are about it really and as good as their time. Upgrading the bulbs will get you a 'whiter' or 'bluer' light which penetrates further but won't fix the pattern of the reflectors in the headlamps. A bulb upgrade to the Narva or similar upgrade bulbs that fit into the standard housing will give you that whiter light and a bit more range, then fit driving LED's for high beam (you don't actually need to spend a fortune on huge units to get an effective upgrade in high beam light) and fit the fog lamps which you can use on back country dark as the inside of a cow areas with either high or low beams for the light fill to get better spread and pattern on dip...
