Four feet? Good lord....
My stock foglights shine farther than that.
Get some nighttime pics so we can see what you're talking about, if it'* raining, that'll help us even better, just park in front of a wall about 25 feet away and take pictures of the light shining on the wall then post it and the Lightning Gurus (Rob and Bandit aka Ryan) will help ya.

OK, for starters, you need to clean up the housings. The come apart fairly easily, if you're very careful. Get them all nice and dry before your reflectors start to deteriorate (if they haven't already).
Secondly, are you sure the bulbs you bought were what they say they are?? That'* my biggest issue with eBay, you can't be 100% sure of the honesty of the seller. head to WallyWorld or your local parts store and get some well known bulbs. I got the GE NIGHTHAWKs this last time, and they seem great!

When you reseal it, use silicon adhesive. The original adhesive/sealer may have shrunk and/or dies on you.
I would recommend the removeable silicon, though. I used real silicon, and mine will probably never open again....
One more thing, considering the original/stock high beams are only 65 watts, I personally would have a hard time understanding how 100W bulbs would not be more than bright enough...

I never took the foglights apart. Mine were skag-nasty so I replaced them.
I am currently running ProBurners (20 bucks at Wally World). More than bright enough, and almost a direct drop in.
