You could go for an H7 HID conversion, they're really cheap now, less than £100 (e-Bay).

These are the ones I bought six months ago and I've had no problems at all.
They make the standard lamps look positively dim yes and they draw less current to boot!

It says "low beam conversion" does it do both low and high - or am I being typically dim?

If you have an H4 HID conversion then high and low beam is possible because the high beam is created by a motorized shroud moving over the lamp to allow full exposure on the headlamp reflector.
Sadly if you are using H7 lamps only low beam as high beam is required for "flashing" and HID takes too long to strike up to full luminescence for "flashing".
My low beam is VERY good for safe progress on the darkest of roads.
