I have been using DHC branded 75 watts 4300k LED in my cars.
They are very effective.

I think yours is the dual barrel type with projector for the low beam and reflector in the high beam. So it would be H7/HB3 ( please confirm) for the low beam and H1/H7 for the high beam ( again, please confirm).

The DHC branded 75 watts LED costed me 8500 per pair.
Try to get the 4300k color temperature as it works better in different weather conditions and road types.
You may also try out the 55 watts version .

I suggest you to first upgrade the low beam , upgrade the high beam only if you need it.

Suggested the brand as I have been using it for quite a long time and am happy with its performance, I am in no way related to the brand.

One important thing to note though is - the LED chips always emit white light - the 6000K white.
Any other colours that you see, including 4300K temperature, are actually achieved by adding appropriate tints over the LED chip. This - also means that the actual lumens output of the LED - is lesser than the equivalent white bulb without temperature tint.
