There is *NO*, absolute NO replacement for HID's ! ANd now that you can get HID's for $70 shipped, why even bother with another incandesant that makes you believe it is brighter by putting a filter on the glass. Mind you the only thing that filter does is to limit the amount of light that is coming out of the lightbulb. Thats why it is a filter.

If you want MORE light, get yourself a pair of HID's and be done with it. If you just want more bling, then those filtered bulbs may be an option.
