I had to pull the bumper cover off that car, not enough hours in some of the Autozone offerings. Changed 10 bulbs.
As for a German ranking site - I would not even know how to figure which ones are legal - and I'm not going to be that _____ blinding everyone else on the road.
All the HID bulbs in the list are legal in both the US and Europe. Europe has much more strict laws on what's legal and not. HID bulbs aren't like halogens in that the brighter ones "burn out" faster than the dimmer ones. They all roughly the same service life, or at least 1000-1500 hours. I believe the 3% failure rate for most HID bulbs is at 1500 hours of operation.

Silverstar Ultra is easy to find and powerful
That's not what Sylvania says.
