headlight issues

ok so this has been a growing concern the past few weeks, my headlights just feel incredibly dim. It feels like a 2 part problem:
1. I probably am due to replace my bulbs. The last few years I have just always put in whatever the "nice" set is from autozone. I want brighter, what do people recommend?
2. The headlamps are starting to haze pretty badly. I know how to do those restoration kits but the problem is that 90% of the hazing issue is actually from the INSIDE of the lenses. Have other people had issues with this?

I have a newly acquired 2009 fit with a serious hazing problem on both sides. I took 1000 gritt, then 1200 gritt, 1500 gritt, 2000 gritt, and 3000 gritt wet and dry sand paper. Then I took polish to the outside lens, and buffed it with my drill with a buffer attatchment. This took most of the problem away, but the inside stuff remains and the headlights are adequate.
