Any Headlight bulb replacement rec? 850 1994

I've been running Sylvania XV 9004's on my RWD bricks for years, supplemented with Hella MicroDE foglights. (Unfortunately, I have the single-lamp 9004 which produces compromises in both hi-beam and low-beam output, especially behind DOT lenses.) Thankfully, the 20%-over-stock output is real and worth every penny. I pay $20/pair, and replace them every 6 months.

I wish I could get current-spec ecodes on this car to improve the beam pattern but they're not available. Since I have the Hella foglights, I may add auxilliary 'driving lamps' to replace the stupid inboard 'foglights' that came on this car...or maybe add those new Hella around-the-corner lamps.
