I hear what you're saying about the Xenons in the '06 and newer 9-5s. I've got 2 '06 wagons (one with Halogens and one with Xenons and even with super clean headlight lenses, the result is just inferior on the Xenons at this point in the car's life.
Looking at both vehicles' systems side by side, it looks like a bear - beyond my inclinations to address it just now. All I can suggest right now is, get the most intense fog light bulbs you can buy and install those, to stop the gap.
And I would suppose (I could be wrong) that that Bosch 666 relay (which is fantastic on the bright lights on my '05 with Xenons) might fit on your '07.
I saw a thread here last year where some fellah wanted to switch from Halogens to Xenons - terrible, terrible idea IMO. Hopefully someone who has gone the right way (as you suggested) will chime in here.
