Ok....

....so, Quadcammer, how about a list of names instead of a cryptic "there are brighter ones out there" comment?

Gimme some names.

FWIW, I put Philips bulbs in my wife's car.

I've run PIAAs in my Miata for years.

If anybody out there has personal experience with brighter, 55w, H7, non LED, lets hear the brand name and model number.

Again, H7, Halogen, 55 watt.

Thanks.

Temperature Issues?

I've seen lots of headlamp assemblies which appear to have been 'cooked' and discolored due to, I am assuming, the practice of running hotter-than-OEM lamps within the housings.

This makes me nervous about the entire concept of trying to find "brighter" lamps.

Of course, switching over to LED lamps should, at least in general principles, solve this "hot" issue. But we aren't discussing that idea here.

Thanks - DM

Osram Rallyes blow anything away in the category, but they are discontinued. While also 65 watt, they cause no issues on factory wiring.

Philips extreme vision 130

Osram Nightbreakers

Are there any current favourites for Litronic low and high beam bulbs?

No one has boosted their Lits?

Yes perhaps any more heat would haze up the cover. I have already got some hazing/cloudiness opposite the projector
