Philips power x-treme (extreme)
or osram night breakers.

philips are better but the osrams are slightly cheaper.

single bulbs headlights take h4

and twin bulb units take h7

I changed mine for Osram nightbreakers. There was only a slight increase over standard. I then changed them for phillips power x-treme which are brighter again but still not that bright! I think the HID route will be the next option.
