[James Murray (QB/EMC)]

I can't recall, what's the H7 used for? Some of the specialty bulbs look interesting...

Rolf,

Check out the links in the Forgie post.  These are not just blue-tinted 
bulbs (color reduces the actual light output) and not the 10/15% 
brighter bulbs by increasing the voltage.   Most US spec headlights 
have 9006 low, 9005 Hi, and H3 fog.  The 9011/9012 bulbs are not direct 
fit replacements, but need a little trimming of the base.   Here is a 
spec sheet on the bulbs from GE that shows about a 50% increase in 
light output at the same wattage as OEM.  The viper used the 9011 high 
beam and it lists over $100 in the Mopar box.  My apologies to the list 
since the attachment will be filtered out.
