Look for the OSRAM Sylvania Silverstars........the regular ones are POS.

What he said. The Sylvania ones are blue coated crap.

I've never heard of Osram and what's the difference between them and the regular ones?

Osram is the parent company of Sylvania.

The Sylvania Silverstars have a blue coating that is then coated in silver to produce HID-esque blue tinged light. This of course hurts performance, and also causes a hotter bulb.

The Osram Silverstars are functionally the same except they have a completely clear lens. No blue tinge, just pure bright white. They are rated as 50% brighter than typical bulbs. These are also not sold in North America, they are only available in E-code bulb types (H1, H4, etc.).

You can get those bulbs off ebay.

What's the E-code for the Osram for 9600 and 9500?

I don't think they make the 9006 & 9005 (i'm shure thats what you meant) as stated by Mystical earlier.
