If you're running H7 bulbs, an even higher output option is the Osram Rallye 65w Ultra High Output bulb. It's an H7 base with an H9 capsule that puts out ~50% more lumens than a typical H7 bulb. The rated lifespan is in line with that of a standard H7. I'm very pleased with the ones I've installed in my GTI's high-beams. This is the best price I've found them for... http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.html
PowerBulb's Ebay store is pretty cheap. Under $30 right now for the H4 version. Just ordered some for the fiancee's Fit with its terrible headlights.
You want extreme vision not extra vision...
Checking the confirmation emails, and sure enough, they're the Xtreme Powers! Still for under $30.

I had a pair of these and sadly they lasted less than a year.

It is going on two and one half years on my Accord...
I have 9006 in and they are decent. I've got them still the same aiming as the other bulbs were, and a couple people flashed at me. So I am satisfied with their performance. 
Personal observation...
The Rabbit's headlamps & bulbs stock are brighter than most cars I see at night.
Maybe VW is using an uprated bulb from the factory. I also noticed a lot higher color temp vs. other cars almost to blue side of the spectrum.
Car was leased and lights never touched.

Turns out the X-Treme Power H4's didn't play well with my 2009 Honda Fit's DRL's, and went after 9 months. Eh, hardly surprising for the high-performance bulb market. Pay to play is as true here as everywhere else.
DRL's usually dim the output of the bulb, which can be really hard on the filament.
Yeah, I guess. Must be the filament didn't like another filament close by. The OEM 9005 high beam is still going strong after 11 years in my 1999 Buick. That car uses the high beams as DRL by running them at half-voltage.
