How can I improve the headlight performance of my son's VW Polo?

My son has the above Polo and the headlights are not good enough to safety drive at night as they do not give a bright enough light. Could you please confirm what to do to make it better?

We would recommend Osram Night Breakers or Phillips RacingVision bulb upgrades, as they offer superior performance in low light conditions.
