I've tested tons of bulbs. The Osram Nightbreaker is an awesome bulb. They're mostly used in Germany but you can find them online here in the states too. You will love the added light.
If you want the brightest light you should do an HID conversion. If you go with a 4300k or 5000k it'll be the best "useable" light.

I recently upgraded my headlight to the HID conversion. They sell them all over ebay. Prices range from 35 to 150 bucks. I'm cheap, so I bought a cheap one. Holy freakin moly! I have tried all the drop in bulbs like the Silverstar and the Piaa. All good bulbs and all better than stock. None in the leauge of the HID. This thing is like turning on daytime.
