One of the key ingredients is the reflector design, power source and intended purpose. Having said that, my new F150 with OEM projectors has the best headlights and high beams of anything I've ever driven.
In my mind, if the retrofit kit is not fully flexible and fully aim able to both fit your 4x6 and offer the vertical and horizontal beam spreads needed, you are going to spend lots of money for shiat.
Pretty much any aftermarket HID setup I see is poorly aimed and isn't likely to offer much better output over a properly designed top of the line white halogen lamp(s) with reflector.
First thing your Fox needs is a relay and better ground to ensure the headlights are getting real 12V. Then you could play with different halogen retrofit lamps in the 4x6 cases with glass lenses; possibly run 4 lamps illuminated at 55W ea. That will be a pile of light.
There is a lot of technology that goes into these things, and HELLA makes some of the best automotive lights in the business. I would suggest you look further into their products.
