Change vehicle?
As far as I'm aware series headlights have 2 settings, "Off" and "Are they actually on?".

Replace the sealed beams with Halogen conversions (@£30 a pair for decent make ones)
Make sure all wires are good and earths are clean and secure
Rewire the lights using relays to avoid voltage drop

Check the earths -
Make sure the reflectors are 'bright' any major rust get new ones -
Get yourself a set of Osram 'Nightbreakers' - they're awesome ...

Driving lights are a good idea the standard Lucas are not very bright but poor wiring, bad earth, dirty switch all add up to make it worse a relay is a good idea. I fitted one on my beams and it made a world of difference. IMHO dipps shouldn't be all that bright - please don't get Xenons they are just blinding for everyone else!

Xenon light owners should be made to weld without a mask.
i cannot drive at night because of thase bast**d blueish lights.
all good advice. Buy new and put together properly.

You can get these as direct replacements for the sealed beam units - but use thicker wire and relays.

Measure the volt drop on the wiring to the lights and replace if more than half a volt, check power and earth wiring. also as stated above fit some better lights.
