I need much brighter headlights for my '06 Lacrosse. My friend got Philips X-Treme for his '09 Focus and loves them, but apparently not made for Lacrosse. Is there anything comparable ?

You can try Silverstars. I'm not sure if they have a long lifespan or not. I know there is one "high end" brand that has a much shorter life compared to similar bulbs, but I can't seem to find that information right now.

Thanks Xlt for trying. Will look into Silverstars, but still hoping for more choices.

These look like they might be good.
