I would clean the lens first and make sure they are aimed correctly. The headlamp in those is plenty bright. Period. Led's are just going to freak out the electrical system.
You want to hack up a new car?
and kill the warranty?
really?
No I want my wife to be able to see better and stop hitting deer with our 9 month old son in the back seat
i drive in dark at knight for 10 years, swing. so i drive with high beams set, full time, and see all those deer and if I see one, i slow way down , you learn to look at them and tell they are going to do something "crazy" like jump, the way they look at you, if they are just walking ok but if f you get that look?, oh boy. I drove back roads, at 50mph, see 1 deer and its 25mph. or less. In some places the deer are vast , just at sunset. use the high beams and live. its a very serious matter, deer. you do know that modifying the lights is illegal right>? , not DOT certifed. Here ,you will fail state inspection. If dear just f jumps from bushes, no lights on earth will save you, nor cut it in half like star wars. sorry but all that is fact. (if really wanting to have more light , add huge light bars like they run in AFRICA. and a switch, there is no limits there, as its not one head lights on, so its only for offroad. (but you can use it all you want if the fuzz is not about.)
why not get it seviced if they are dim, the car is brand new 2014 and in full waranty, the lights are NOT Dim, day1 out of factory. not at all. (and driving faster than conditions permit is #1 on deer, besides the pureluck of bush jumps) i got lots of deer, experience, and and see deer , on high beems, out to say 1000 feet, sometimes just the eyes glowing. (then the brakes are hit, not later) use the Highs. and win. or avoid driving at that time of day. even my old 1988 jeep, with glass, sealed beam HL's worked great, but as the man says, never over drive that beam, if you cant stop inside the distance of that beam, then you will have problems, most not pretty.
in many cases , technology is not a solution to safety, its between the ears. (get an advanced driving course)?
Total candlepower. The total candlepower for headlamps and auxiliary lamps shall not exceed 150,000.
that is the law , if you what , you might go to HIDs. but be aware the wiring stock is not going to handle that, it will take custom heavy wiring, and the TIPM , may get up set, as you many not know these (brain) check voltages at HL and if wrong sets up errors. and can defeat DRL if fitted,(canada) for LEDs to work you need a huge array of super bright LED, to get 150,000 CP. ( and i dont think they fit in any stock headlight form factor) so that means the LED must be external, if that is what you want , why be here, at all, why not get the 4wd shop fit them and do not connect them to the stock system, use your own switch and relay and heavy fuses. (and wires with proper gauge) its not like changing a light bulb, not hardly
the crack down, and fines
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is targeting high-intensity discharge (HID) conversion kits for enforcement actions. NHTSA has concluded that it is impossible to produce HID conversion kits (converting a halogen system to HID) that would be compliant with the federal lighting standard, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108. The noncompliant kits frequently include a HID bulb, a ballast, an igniter, a relay and wiring harness adapters. The NHTSA believes this equipment presents a safety risk to the public since the kits can be expected to produce excessive glare to oncoming motorists. In one investigation, the NHTSA found that an HID conversion headlamp exceeded the maximum allowable candlepower by over 800%. Under FMVSS No. 108 Section S7.7 (replaceable light sources),
some are 8 time stock, and the poor guy come around the bend in front of you and is blinded, some panic, ! so just slow down. (cost ? zero, and saves ga$)
if i could drive it , id know, but cant, and my jeep , new, the TIPM box, runs the lamps dirctly, (has a can-buss computer there ) and will not like wiring changes, at all, in fact there is no headlight fuses, on mine electronics drive the HL, so can not be changed easy, see why here. ( I repair TIPM)http://www.fixkick.com/look/odds-ends/je...

There's a small space behind inside fender. You can get your hand in there to grab and twist the back of the bulb to release it. You need a flashlight.

TEST
remove both bulbs from the lamps but leave them on their wires switch
on and see if the bulbs are still different brightness if not they the
passenger side lamp housing has damaged mirror is dirty or missalined and needs adjustment. if they are
different brightness then this may be a earthing problem.
