Answer
All DOT approved lights have a maximum of 55 watts output. Manufacturers tweak the light frequency to the white side, toward 5500 degrees Kelvin, to make them look brighter, but the lumen outputs are really all about the same. Other than a slight gain in beam control, they don't really do much better because of DOT specs.
Simple Euro headlight replacements in the 100 watt range will blow them away - seeing stop signs a mile down the road in flat country is common (don't ask how I know ;). ) Plus, on low beam, oncoming drivers are not affected - they have superior cutoff and don't shine up in the trees. Hella and Cibie, among others, have been making them for decades, the tech is proven - just not legal here.
It's no comfort the council advising DOT on this is made up of US makers who have been stonewalling improvements for 50 years.HID, projector, and the new LED will never be as good until at least '60's era Euro reflector shapes and output are made legal.

Answer
Check a local auto parts store. I think you can get new headlights and a HID conversion kit for that budget.The only decision is projector beam or diamond cut housings.Diamond cut looks cleaner and almost stock, projector beam would be more noticeably aftermarket. I would go crystal cut , they are more tasteful, and much nicer than stock.If he prefers projector beam, he would still be thrilled to have crystal cut, but if he likes the clean look and gets projector beams, he might be less thrilled.
