I purchased and installed a pair of theses Osram 65w bulbs:
Osram Rallye 65w Ultra High Output H7 Special-Service Bulb <b>SALE!</b>
You can also find them at suvlights:
suvlights.com Osram (Sylvania) - Hyper H7 (Clear) - 65W 190% - Each
Some places call them "Rallye", others use the name "Hyper" or some other expletive. These bulbs are simply a 65 watt H9 filament fused to the standard H7 base. No gimmicks, no silly blue tinting. They are UV blocked and are rated for a 500 hour life. Made in Germany.
I first installed just one bulb for comparison. The Osrams are brighter, especially so on farther distances, have a whiter color and a wider beam spread. This is good as some of the "brighter" bulbs have a narrower beam (which is how they can be brighter at the standard 55w). Again, no blue tinting which would increase glare and diminish the overall brightness.
The best way to describe the brightness is that there is now only a small difference between high beams and low beams.
The Osrams draw an additional 10 watts of power and the headlight lens cover does feel warmer with the new bulb, so I would not recommend using anything that draws more power than these.
