Default Replacement headlight bulbs

Night time driving visibility in my 98 XC70 seems to be getting pretty bad. Does anyone have any recommendations for upgrading headlight bulbs? I'm looking for the longest lasting and brightest possible bulb. Thanks.

SYLVANIA SilverStar Headlights available at Walmart. They are far brighter than stock.

For the low beams I got those

Genuine Philips Premium Series H7 Light Bulb 12972 Germany Free SHIP to World | eBay

It's a genuine chinese knockoff but boy it works well, think I got them a year ago, still good and very good light. When the headlights are weak, it's either the headlight that points too low, either the bulbs are too old.
