If you can find aftermarket HS5 bulbs, then you've struck gold.

The whole headlamp assembly needs to be changed or modified.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

There are xenon bulbs available but the hs5 bulbs fitted as standard are double filament and the xenons aren't. Its how to get a dipped and main beam working correctly thats the problem This means reworking the lamps or fitting a custom headlamp, but they are pricey. It would be easier to fit extra driving lamps if its better lights you want.

To keep the How-To forum clean per the guidelines here: http://www.hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=762, I am moving this thread to the General subforum. 
I'm also changing the title, this is not a how-to.
