Headlight bulb upgrade

Anyone out there have any good recommendations for what kinda bulb I should purchase to replace the stock headlight bulbs ? Not looming for HID, just want something brighter compared to what I have now. Thanks!

Assuming you have stock halogen bulbs.. Philips X-treme Power, Sylvania Silverstar Ultra, Osram Nightbreakers, and GE Nighthawk Platinum are popular premium halogen replacement bulbs. Philips Diamond Visions have the highest kelvin rating for whiter color, but sacrifices lumens.

Thanks I needed this information as well. All I want is a whiter color and any added visibility is always a plus. Can anyone post the type of bulb or model # as well?

thanks

For GLK? Then is H7. Can look into Philips Xtreme Vision and White Vision. I just put White Vision in

I have found this site to have a good selection and technical information that actually stands up to critical scrutiny. I have no association with them, only been a customer. I'm about to become one again, to see if I can improve the lights on my non bi-xenon 2015 GLK250.
