Brighter headlight bulbs - 2012 E350

Does anyone have any recommendations on replacement bulbs for low beams on a 2012 E350? My car just has standard lights (not xenon) and they really aren't bright enough.

I'm assuming you have the halogen bulbs in projector housings. I think Silverstar bulbs are regarded well but I'm not 100% on that.

For the last couple years I've had a Morimoto HID retrofit kit installed and I love it. Zero issues with cutoff/glare thanks to the projector housings, no problem with state inspections and overall a much clearer view for me. I realize this may open up the halogen / HID argument, my intent is to offer what I did when faced with what I considered weak lighting. I'd never go back to halogen on this model.

In doing research, I found these LED bulbs which I may try.

LEDs won't be as good as HID conversion in housing not designed to capture led surface mounted light spread.

I run these in my low beams, and they work perfectly. The light output is MUCH brighter, and the throw is definitely further. They push out over a block.
