I went with the PIAA Super Plasma GT-X H4 replacement bulb. Here's a link to the one that I got. It's the third one down, Part No. 70476.

If you mean the high performance xenon bulb fro HD, I had that one. It lasted about a year...replaced it with the Silverstar Ultra. No comparison. The Osram STSu blows it out of the water.
