Were they Silverstars?
130/100W bulbs and some Xenon filled 100/90W will blow if you use high and low beam together(by pulling the stalk towards you when on low beam).
The reason is heat.
Xenon in halogen bulbs means higher heat inside the bulb, which results in better light as hotter fillaments glow whiter and brighter.
a 100/90 or 60/55W silverstar should not be a problem.
In philips bluevision give great light, but if you are just looking for light output Vision + is a great option. Have a 60/55W Vision+ on getz and that gives great light, not really white but intensity is more than the stock phillips.
