oh that one, that's not low beam, that's high beam housing but the bulb you talking about is the driving light. if you want bright you can try to find some 8w bulbs rather than the stock 5w. but the ones i know are all superwhite, but you don't have that in your headlight so it will look weird

yeah if you want to upgrade the low beam and the driving lights, i think around 100 bucks should be good.

brands? for driving lights i still like my polarg the most. for low beam, try either the piaa extreme white or the razo platinum white zero

you can upgrade the fogs too if you want, same price as the low beam
