You *might* improve the lights by doing Duncan's suggested advice of raising the low beam setting slightly.
Tried searching for his post, but damned if I can find the link.
EDIT - finally found it:- http://www.vectra-c.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33655
This also worked on my facelift, so it's not just a fix for pre-facelift Vectra's.

There is nothing wrong with the lamps, it just the way they are setup; compare dip and main beam
Usual solution is to replace the bulbs, but this usually only increases the illumination on dip and has little effect on main beam
Another consideration is asking your local MoT station to realign the lamps to the highest legally correct setting
I've done this on both of my Vectras and have this performed a few days after taking ownership
One final point is I have noticed the latest E bulbs have a dreadful green tint in them
Philips Vision Plus is my recommendation, dip AND main beam
