The best "high-intensity" halogen bulbs I have ever found and used was PIAA "super whites". They are in my estimation the best halogen bulbs you can buy. They are definitely brighter and have a better look/color to them. They are not Xenon "wannabies", just true bright white(bordering on blue spectrum) bulbs. I bought a pair of low beam bulbs for my now sold BMW 318i and it was definitely worth the $85. They usually sell these bulbs in off-roading centers. I still have yet to get them for my 300E's low beam/high beam setup due to the expense. -- Mikey
