Is Osram still the best non-HID bulb?

I always check this Sylvania Bulb Guide before buying bulbs for my car

 

What? Check the guide? It's more fun to take the front of the car apart to change it then realize it's the wrong one :lol:

 

I like the Xtravision ones I went with. They're just the "brighter downroad" type but whiter than the warm colored OEM.

I was gonna do the parking lights to match but planning on Anzo's in a few months hopefully so decided to just leave'm. Sorry that you guys have to see my ugly all chrome headlights like this.

 

Hm, HID's probably don't go out ~once a year like the halogen's. Now I'm thinking about HID's...Subaru did sent me a letter that they'd replace the bulbs that go out for the low beams since there's some sort of defect. That'd just be a nuisance to drive half an hour every time. The HID's would pay for themselves after a few years...oh man...

On the headlight forums the general consensus is that LEDs just aren't quite there yet and any decent HID will beat them. As for comparing high end standard bulbs to LED bulbs that's up for debate. The thing I have experienced with LEDs is if you look at them they are bright. If you shine them down the road they fade fast.

 

These are the only LEDs that people have mentioned as being seriously competitive for headlamps.

You may have to work some magic trying to squeeze everything in though.

 

When I want to just do regular old Halogen bulbs on a boring car but really improve beam output I use these or something like them.
