Without xenon/hid you won't get near that blueish color of those cool blue leds. It would be much easier with pure white bulbs.. I have Narva Range power white bulbs and pure white leds on my car and they are almost the same. Whitest halogen bulbs I know and have used them many times. However theres a tradeoff: you loose alot light range with them cause white/blue light spectrum has lower range than yellow. So im using them in fog lights as dayrunninglights.

Tenere has both H7 bulbs.

But look at your google search for Narva range power white h7 55w.
Narva is a german brand. Ebay shows only chinese sellers for me but i do not know why. I bought them from my local carparts store.

Other bulb I used was Osram cool blue on my old Xt600. It was not very white but it was good for me.

I've fitted a this H7 LED as low beam, but it won't fit the high beam because of the special twist lock socket on that one.

Led bulbs are not legal here if no markings on the headlight and I do not know how good they are vs halogens at light output on the road.
But heres some pictures of Narva range power white on my car:
Look how much whiter narva is vs cheap Ebay bulb that said "Super bright xenon" on the box..I have used those bulbs for two years and still work :)

But again... I do not advise using them in low beam cause they are not that good at night... more for "show" or day driving.
Theres not much you can do with halogens... more white=less light on the road. Maybe Osram Cool BLue but it will be more yellowish than your leds.

Same here - the headlight is aprroved for H7 halogen - anything else is illegal- In theory the same goes for the parking light.

There is one thing you can do with halogen - more power = more light

Osram (64217) also makes a 65W H7 that produces 2100 lumen against the standard 1400 lumen - I've fitted that in the long beam.

That is also in the illegal category since it produces to much light for the standard ....
