Default Headlight help

Ok so I was unhappy with the stock lights and switched over to a HID. Now I have plenty of light but am very unhappy with the light pattern. It is bright as all hell infront and to the sides of the jeep, but leaves a dark spot right in the middle where I would like the light. I adjusted the lights down and that helped ittighten the pattern up in the middle of the lane a little but now I'm at the point where the lights are getting to low. So my question is is there a better housing out there that uses the same style bulb ( h13 I believe is stock) that has a better light pattern. I've seen the ones that convert to the h4 bulb but since I already have new h13 HID bulbs I don't want to buy another set. Any help is appreciated!

Well if the HID lights are only 15 bucks that's not bad. I was thinking that they would be alot more since the conversion kit was like 175.00. I guess the ballast are the expensive part of the kit then.
