Have to agree strongly with what Roachie has posted. If you have difficulty distinguishing low contrast objects at night, then you need "white" light. All lights with conventional Quartz Halogen globes, no matter what the price or quality, produce "yellow" light. The only lights on the market today that produce a true "white" light are HID's.
When selecting your HID's, it's probably best to stick with the better brands. Light Force do a good product, as does Hella.
It's also possible to convert conventional spotlights to HID by fitting an after-market kit from e-bay or elsewhere. However, if you go down this path, you need to start with a decent light to convert. There's no point fitting HID globes to a light which has crappy reflectors and lenses to start with. Again, I'd suggest Light Force or Hella.
But as Roachie has said - there's nothing else out there that compares with a decent set of HID lights. A good set of HID's will cost you more (possibly quite a lot more), but if you want to do the job properly first time, there is no realistic alternative.
