Looking to maximize the utility of my Hella 4000 compact euro-beam "moose lights."
Past experience with other driving lights suggests moot benefit to installing 100w bulbs over the std 55w.
However, Philips offers their XtremeVision and Osram their Nightbreaker Unlimited in H1. In anyone's knowledge/experience, would either of these provide meaningful improvement over Hella's OE 55w bulb? And of the Philips and Osram, is one preferable to the other?
Thanks!

Hella doesn't make bulbs. They're outsourced and made by third rate makers in China or India. The Philips Xtreme Vision is tops, followed by Osram, and GE-Tungsram.
