Depending on what you are looking for and your budget, there are a few options. On my NG900 I have e-code lenses (around 135.00 per pair) from genuinesaab.com and Phillips "Power 2 Night" H4 bulbs (about $35.00 U.S.) from the U.K. I think that combination works the best.
You could spend 400.00 and up and get true xeonon bulb with ballasts but the headlight housing are not made for them. They will be alot brighter but light dispersion is all over the place, and vision down the road is actually a little worse.
H4 brands you should consider: Piaa, whiter, not brighter, expensive around 50.00 and up and burn out within a year. Sylvania silverstars, really good, brighter, cheaper lasts so much longer. Phillips P 2 N, so far the best, beam pattern so much further and brighter some reason can't find in U.S. readily available in Europe.
E-code lenses cut differently so there are no hot spots and beam pattern is smooth and even giving bulbs an even brighter look.
Good luck
Glenn.
