Headlight bulbs

Hey what's everyone using for the brightest h13 headlight bulb? Stock halogens are very dim for me. I picked up a set of led headlights by opt 7 and I am not very satisfied. Does anyone know of a good led bulb? If not what's the best halogen?
2005 f250 6.0 lariat.

I'm watching too. 06 XLT and at 62 my eyes aren't as good as they used to be at night.

I use Putco nite-lux. No problems and a decent light in my opinion.

I have these from Xenon Depot and have been very happy with them.

H13 LED Headlight Kit | H13 LED Upgrade

They're really bright and the cutoff line is pretty good at not blinding oncoming traffic. I had one ballast go out but they were helpful and sent me a whole new set the next day.
