2005 Arc headlight H-7 lamp resolution

Good morning.
After several years of intermittent/outright failure H-7 headlamp issues (with only passenger side), I have a resolution.
After trying to use Sylvania and other locally available H-7 bulbs, I found the Hella 8GH 007 157-121 bulb.
Since installing this 6 months ago, I have had absolutely NO issues, either outright failures or intermittent outages.
While it may be a wiring/connector issue, the simple insertion of this bulb worked with no further remedial actions. I see no physical differences, so I am at a loss as to the reason that it works.
The bulbs are readily available from Amazon and other online retailers. I found no local source.
The lamps do not appear to be "super" bright, but they do provide very good light quantity and quality.
Hope this helps someone else with headlamp reliability issues.
