I want to upgrade my 97 Buick Park Ave 9005 high-beams to the brightest stock(ish) wattage bulbs I can getwithout damaging plastic lamp housings. Are 9011 bulbs a safe and effective way to upgrade? If so, what is the brightest 9011 bulb I can use? I would like to hear angels sing when I turn on my high-beams.
I suspect Vosla HIR1 9011 may be the brightest 9011. How about Philips or Sylvania? What is the best way for me to get-er-done? Brightness and good focused light are my main priorities (and not damaging plastic housings). Bulb life is not a concern because I don't drive much.
My Buick has stock wiring and daytime running lights that use the high-beams at a low voltage. Is that a problem with HIR1 9011 bulbs?

I want to upgrade my 9006 low-beams, but as far as I know all 9012 bulbs have a clear tip (no glare shield). My lamp housings have no glare shield either. Is there a brand of HIR2 9012 bulb that has a glare shield on the tip of the bulb?
