Brightest H7 Halogen Bulb
My Halogen bulbs seem too dim. I want to replace them with the best available out there but more white in color and not the yellowish OEM bulb. Any suggestions? Tried a search and didn't find much brands out there. TIA

I don't have an answer for your question, but I will ask: How do your headlight covers look? Are they still crystal clear or are they getting cloudy? A cloudy cover will disperse light and cause the headlights to suck, especially in rain and snow.

They're crystal clear. The lens inside looks a bit cloudy tho. I thinking of getting Phillips X-treme Vision bulb. I want something mor whitish in color and not the yellowish look of OEM but I hear the bluer the color, the dimmer the bulb is

Osram makes an H7 65 watt bulb, but is for off road only.
The Sylvania Sliverstar ZXE are their brightest and Sylvania auto lighting is owned by Osram so it is a quality bulb. They are allowed for on road use also.

I think I should've went the ZXE but I bought the Silverstar Ultras because I saw a video on YouTube with the Ultras and ZXE's side by side and had the same white color and because the Ultras last a bit longer. After installing the Ultras, they are the same exact yellow color as the OEM's

I put (4) Sylvania ZXE H7 bulbs into the Benz, and have a pair of ZXE 9006's to put into the fog lights when I'm feeling ambitious. Can't say the headlights are a whole lot lighter, but at $50/pair my wallet is. They're bright. They're not like some higher tech bulbs by a long shot.

The brightest H7 halogen out to date are Orsam H7 Laser then Phillips Extreme 130% in second place by a little. Only speaking in light output and not aesthetics those are the brightest bulbs in H7 right now. I personally use the Laser bulbs in a Ebay projector on a second vehicle and they are pretty bright.
Here is a video comparing the two.
