I also am intersted in upgrading my headlights on my '01 Accord. I
have had night vision problems for years and have, in the past,
upgraded my sealed beam headlights to bulb type "Z" beams.

The lights that blind me as I drive are not on Hondas, they are on
full size pickups and full size SUVs.

I researched this question on the Internet including the excellent site
associated with Daniel Stern. There is nothing >legal< available that
will improve the performance of 9005 high beam bulbs. The extra cost
extreme white sort of bulbs will actually supply fewer lumens and have a
shorter life expectancy (though they do look "cool").

http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=102

There is additional output available for the 9006 Xtravision, but 1030
lumens as opposed to the standard 1000 lumens is not worth the drive to
Pep Boys.

Good upgrades for 9003/HB2/H4 bulbs (Was: Stock v/s Sylvania HV's Headlight bulbs)
 

Ok, so just in case anyone out there (who is searching for a good upgrade
for their H4/9003/HB2 bulbs) wants to know, I have narrowed my choice down
to Osram Silverstars. These are NOT the Sylvania Silverstars that you see
at Pep Boys. These are the made by Sylvania's parent (?) company and are
marketed in Europe. Take a look:
http://www.osram.com/products/automo...ilverstar.html

Here's some copmparative info (taken from an earlier post authored by Daniel
Stern):
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?http:/...y.php?id=39917

Here's Mr. Stern's original (and informative) post:
http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/...es/525825.html

I will be picking them up from Stern's website (http://lighting.mbz.org/)
for $17 each, plus shipping. The website does not feature them but he'll
get them for you if you ask.

I'll keep you all posted about my experience with them...

Good luck!
