I don't believe the European headlights will make that much of a difference. A brighter bulb might, but in doing this you may be creating more of a hazard than you are fixing, oncoming drivers need to see too!
It may be worthwhile to make sure the headlights are aimed properly, I would have someone with proper tools and training check them out, there are a number of very effective optical headlight aimers available now, i would try to find a shop that has this type of aimer, they are very accurate, it may be contributing to your problem. If you find a shop with the Bosch aimer, it will also have a light intensity meter, it would be good to have this checked, maybe there is a problem that is keeping your lights from acheiving full intensity.
I've never recommended this before, but some also claim having better night vision by using a different type (ie "blue" bulbs, or Xenon-looking bulbs) in a slightly higher wattage than stock, this could also be tried, but only if aiming the headlights is of no help.
These types of bulbs are usually found at the larger auto-parts retailers, ie Autozone or Pepboys, I'm sure the people there can direct you to these types of products, but please please have the headlight aim rechecked first.
Finally, I feel it's important to remind you that if you truly are having problems driving at night, and none of this is information helps you at all, you MUST consider the safety of others. Not just yourself, there are families out there at night, don't be a hazard to other road users or yourself PLEASE!
