I recently purchased Sylvania ZXE bulbs and they're not all that bright. It looks like the low beam casing has like a film or something over it. Is there anything I can do to make them brighter?

Get a set of HID lights. Our lights don't have the best projector lenses. You can upgrade to TRS projector lenses, but that involves baking your headlights open to switch them out.

Is there a reason they didn't just make the lenses clear?

Price point and target audience. Most people won't care as even the stock halogens do a fairly decent job of lighting up the road ahead.

What's my best option to get brighter lights? Just HIDS?

Yup or a clear lens mod as Steven suggested. HIDs should be the easiest way for you to achieve brighter lighting. Keep in mind the quality of the HID kit matters too. I had 8000k headlights for a bit and they were bright but when I switched to 4300k OEM ones My lighting output increased so much that I constantly thought other cars were driving beside me even when I was by myself on the roads.

Does anyone know why when I put LED signal lights in my signals started blinking at light speed? I feel bad making so many different posts.

They hyper flash because you don't have a resistor installed. Install the resistor and you should be good.

do the HIDs, totally worth it! no joke, it's night and day difference. while the beam pattern is good, the halogens don't fill the space like the HIDs, it's been 2yrs and I still smile when I pop them on.
