Phillips Ultinon D1S bulbs - 6000 to 6700K from highperformancebulbs.com (if they ever get them back in stock!), or Amazon.
I also hear great things about ****************' D1S bulbs- guaranteed to be as good or better or your money back.

Osram Cool Blue Intense D1S Bulbs 5000K. think they come stock in the new S-class and 5series. Hands down the brightest out w/ a sweet cut-off.

I have these. Expensive but so worth it. Much better light output than other aftermarket bulbs plus you get a pure white light.

Basically.

The OEM's 4300k is the brightest. The higher temp you go, you sacrifice light output for color.

The only place I trust for authentic osram CBI. You pay a premium but they are most definitely worth it.
