HID kits come with a ballast, not really suitable for cars with the old style reflector lights like these - they tend to glare despite them having a bar along the shaft of the bulbs - HID is designed for projector lenses like those on the Facelift A. Even LED as marko301 says, will glare in these lights because there isn't the metal sheath around the bulb like the modern cars have.
I think you have done about as good as you can with these and also being legal - HIDs are now illegal, although they are very good.

They look great but you might find the light output poor on unlit roads. The blue coating which gives them the white look also holds back some of the output. The only way to find out if they work for your needs is to try them.2017 Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport Sri Nav 1.5 (165ps) Turbo petrol in Lava Red - Keyless entry and start - 18” five spoke alloy wheels - Front fog lights - Tinted rear windows - Aluminium sports pedals - Ambient interior led lighting - Front and rear parking assist - Active emergency braking - Forward collision assist - Front pedestrian alert - Traffic sign recognition - Lane keep assist - Cruise control - Speed warning and limiter - Voice recognition - Bluetooth - Duel zone climate control - Front and rear electric windows - High beam assist - Auto lights - Auto wipers - Wifi hotspot - 8” colour touchscreen Navi 900 with Android Auto, Apple Car Play and DAB
