Ok - so you just have an aftermarket H4 bulb like a Silverstar or a Piaa or something? If there's nothing surrounding the bulb, then it should function similar to the stock bulb. Pic might help - sounds like you have what Sov mentioned where the upper has a cutoff that is leaning with the bike's lean.
Might just need to adjust your beam up a bit to see if that helps.

The not seeing through turns when leaned over is a classic problem on all motorcycles unfortunately.
BMW is working on a solution, and it's relatively simple, although it appears to be servo driven and require lots of newfangled technology. If the same could be accomplished by sheer inertia in combination with gravity, it would be far simpler and easy enough to bolt onto most bikes.

Putting in a stock bulb isn't going to fix anything, all lights are designed to have a "cutoff" of sorts. The only difference is that halogens aren't as prominent. Cutoff is a straight line when you're straight up, you lean over and so does your cutoff.
Obvious issue, if you lean left the left part of your cutoff line is now lower than your right. Nothing you can do about this, just how it works. No matter what kind of bulb is there.
