Do you want better visibility, especially in rainy or foggy days, or do you prefer better matching colour?

For visibility you'll have to choose an hotter colour bulb like the Osram Night Breaker Unlimited (around 4350 K) or the Philips X-treme Vision +130%.

For better colour matching you can either choose the Osram Cool Blue Intense or the Philips Blue Vision Ultra.

For offroad use you can use the Osram Cool Blue Hyper.

Philips X-treme Vision should be the best in the market at the moment, just not sure if the price difference for the corresponding Osram is worth it. If you have xenon headlights the halogen bulbs don't do much else than help just a bit when using the high beams.

Also they are 3700K so they're much more yellow than xenon lights (4300K), but work better in the rain/fog.
