Optimal headlight bulbs

Greetings to everybody. I just purchased two sets of headlight bulbs for my 2013 Evoque: one set was LED, while the other was a budget option from eBay. I am experiencing difficulties driving at night due to the reduced brightness of headlights compared to the past. I have also replaced the old battery, suspecting that would be the issue, but to no avail. Could you suggest a high-quality headlight bulb, please? Thank you.

Osram Night Breaker Laser or Philips X-tremeVision.

Replace original halogen headlights with halogen bulbs.
Halogen, HID, and LED lights exhibit distinct illumination patterns, necessitating varied headlamps and lenses.
Avoid opting for inexpensive alternatives. You will experience disappointment.

The Osrams and Philips Jay18 referenced are among the finest.
Additionally, inspect and cleanse the lenses. Is there yellowing present?

No fading, but a lack of vibrancy. Driving along lanes is unfeasible. I will place the order as Jay instructed. I really appreciate both of you.

Consider investing in a headlamp cleaning kit.
One hour per lens and some effort resulted in a significant improvement over my prior vehicle.

Is this the product you referred to? The lenses are transparent; I suspect the inexpensive bulbs are the issue. Thank you.

I presume you have verified that the aim has not inadvertently been adjusted downward using the rotary dial under the steering wheel?

Affirmative, my friend. Verified all components.
