Hi everyone . I have a new 2022 520 pioneer. Do anybody have any suggestions for upgrading the front headlight bulbs. Thanks

Small light bar. Otherwise you are basically changing from yellow-ish to white light but you aren’t actually gaining any real light.

Welcome from Alabama.
I changed out the OEM bulbs for JDM ASTAR LED from Amazon here is a link showing the difference between OEM and LED (post #36) P500 - A new P500...this weekend!
I also went with a small (7.25inch) 2160 Lumen LED (36W/3A) light bar from Tractor Supply Company - https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/traveller-725-in-36w-light-bar?rfk=1
Not sure what shipping to Canada would be but maybe you could find something similar at Canadian Tire.
FWIW - Most of the time I find that the LED conversion bulbs are quite adequate and rarely use the light bar.
I personally like lights mounted below my line of sight, as I find it's easier to see in inclement weather since fog, rain and snow all reflect back to the light source.
Good luck, and don't forget to post pics.

Welcome from Montana. Put on an led light bar. If you don’t want to pay hundreds of $ for one, go on amazon, get a Chinese-made one with good reviews and seal around the edge of the glass and where the wires go in with silicone caulk.
I upgraded my headlight to leds and they still were not adequate to pick my way down a trail at night.

Years ago, I was in your situation and I went with the HID conversion kit, not cheap.
I loved it for many years, but then when light bars became popular and cheap, I got one of those too....for so much less expensive! (and a lot more light)
Then I added rear-facing lighting for fun. LED lightbars from Harbor Freight is the way to go...
