Headlight bulb replacement

Anyone have any strong opinions on a replacement bulb? I'm down a headlight it seems like there is a wide range in prices. I'm not sure where the value/brand sweet spot is....

There is quite a variety.
Perhaps you can specify what you are looking for?
What year is this?
Are these H7s or H7s and H1s, depending on your ML.

ml350 - W163 (2004)
Just looking to replace the low beam bulb with a good quality bulb. Figured I'd probably order a pair and looks like I could spend anywhere from $6 to $40 a bulb, which is quite the swing. It's a 2004 ML350 so I think I need the H7 55W....

We have xenons on our w163.....
For our neighbors, I swapped out for them a couple of years ago to H7 Osram 65W. Decent and long life. Brighter than the standard 55W oem bulbs.
