Landing/Taxi lights brightness

The landing/taxi lights seem really dim compared to other aircraft. I realise the cockpit is high up but I really struggle to see where I`m going. If I could shine a torch out the window it might help ;-) I see a switch on the overhead with dim on it (unless thats describing me) but it doesn`t seem to do anything. Help please.....I really want to be born again and see the light!Reider
