I used regular 55W (I think) Osram Silverstars, pretty good improvement over the crappy bulbs provided with the headlights. But, I am not sure if the housing is able to handle hotter bulbs, after all they do not recommend HIDs...

I have a HID for half year, no problem at all, so i think it can handle the heat

HIDs run cooler then a Halogen bulb anyways.. should be no issue.

I just bought these:
(I know it says HID but they aren't) HID's aren't allowed here or I need headlight washers and automatich headlight height adjustment. So "normal" bulbs for me. I do hope they shine a bit whiter than stock bulbs. I've found this site where they tested some of these 4000+ K bulbs and a lot of them where much lower than what the box said. http://clublexus.com/forums/lighting...p-results.html
