Either Philips Xtreme or Osram NightBreaker Unlimited will achieve what you are after.

There are other brands as well but these two are the most common ones.

Keep in mind that these bright light bulbs don't let as long as strandard bulbs though, so you might want to keep a spare handy.

Also, you can consider buying four bright bulbs, i.e. for the dipped beam and main beam.

The issue you will have then is that the parking lights will look very yellow in comparison... but there are solutions for that as well

Yes, I have just put Xtreme Vision Plus in my new (to me) W209.

They are certainly brighter than whatever were fitted previously and throw a good spread of light that I am quite happy with.

I bought them mainly on the results of the various magazine tests around.

One thing I have noticed is the reduced nearside 'kick-up', but I think that is a function of the W209 reflector design.

Previously, I have used Osram Nightbreakers in my E46, but I think these Philips bulbs give a more even illuminance.
