Daniel Stern does know his lighting and very nice person. At times he may be hard to reach.

Cibie USA can also help.
I bought some Cibie's from him awhile back, and just ordered some Cibie Oscar SC cornering lights yesterday. They are great people.
The E-Codes put alot even light on the road without those annoying hot spots. Too bad they aren't hid's. You can go higher on the wattage providing you upgrade the wiring harness. A heavier gauge wiring harness improve the lighting with the stock 55/60 watt bulbs. It's a simple install and easily converted back to stock.
Sylvania is supposed to release a new upgraded 6024 HID headlamp in March, according to someone on one of the lighting forums. But, that's one of those wait and see rumors.
