    Dual projector headlamps you have seen are led, you have halogen in the single projector headlamp. Easiest and cheapest solution is retrofit to hid, like Morimoto's from theretrofitsource. More light from the hid's compared to the stock halogen but still one projector.

    Members have upgraded to the LED projectors, but even if sourced on eBay, they usually run in the hundreds of dollars each, and many come with broken mounting tabs that need to be fixed. Then you will need to get adapter harnesses as well.

    As Paradox posted, a good quality HID kit like Morimoto is more cost effective at under $200.

    Here's a thread to read on what's involved in the LED headlight upgrade:

    This has got to be the sweetest headlight mod around.

    That's the convergence of @Burna J's vision and @sfv41901's mad skills.

    There, I said it.

    ^^^ That's a good price too. The LED headlights can go 500 to 600 a piece on eBay, and that's with broken mounting tabs and no adapter harnesses.

    but one thing comes to mind why did they changed from the double projector to the larger single projector?
