High Beam recommendation

I'm very happy with the Lasfit low beam LEDs that I recently installed in my 2015 SEL, but they sure show up the limitations of the high beams. Turning on the yellowish standard high beams hardly makes any difference. So, I would like to improve the high beams, if possible. Does anyone have any recommendations for high beam bulbs that would complement the Lasfits?

try some osram laser night breakers. They are close to 6000k and I use them for both high and low. Much better than silverstars.

High and lows are H7 right?

The low beam bulb is that bayonet type that the LASFIT works with, but the high beam is a standard H7 bulb in a snap-in socket. I ended up doing the LASFIR lows and the Osram Laser highs.

Hows the color difference between the lasfit and the osrams?

Those lasers are dirt cheap on amazon ($30 shipped) i have a pair sitting in the shop waiting for my ambition to peak.

Just using lasers high and low is quite acceptable and huge improvement over original and quite inexpensive.

I tried two different sets of H7 bulbs in my 12’ for the high and low beams. Both worked awesomely but threw error codes on the dash. Went lasfit for just the low and aimed the lights correctly. No error codes and the stock highs seem alright. I think it has more to do with the headlight being aimed right not the brightness.
