Don't bother with "65W" bulbs. Just buy the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras. These are the US version of the Osram "Night Breaker" bulbs.
I bought a full set of 4 from an ebay vendor for half the $50 per pair (for H7s) they usually go for. They're still 55 watt, but the light is intense, and VERY white. I'm loving them in my 1999 LPT with e-code lenses. Bulb life is reportedly much less than "standard" bulbs, but on par with the normal Silverstars. And, best of all, no annoying blue look!
I'm convinced they're brighter and whiter than the Xenons in my dearly departed 2002 Arc. But I'd readily buy another 9-5 with Xenons.
