On my third try, I finally found a led bulb that seems to tick all the requirements, that is, better light, correct low/high beam spread, and doesn't require any modification.
The first one I tried: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XKVL4K5 the spring to hold the light in place wouldn't clear the heat sink. Returned.
The second one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XKT5Q2N the spring locked ok but the rubber boot that prevents water and condensation to get into the headlamp couldn't be installed. The light spread was unsatisfactory and there was no big difference between low and high beam.
My last one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/iSi...D-160W-16000LM-H1-H4-H7-9005/32791513036.html locked ok, the rubber boot installs no problem and the light spread seems pretty good to me. It's a bit tight, you may need to juggle cables to fit the headlamp back together.
My only concern is heat dissipation. I'll post if any problem comes up.
Installed:
Took pictures at same camera aperture and speed and measured the % of pixels > 230 avg RGB (255 is pure white). Results below.
Low beam Halogen (130% philips xtreme vision)
13.5 % of pixels > 230
Low Beam LED
17.5% of pixels > 230
High Beam Halogen
13.1% pixels > 230
High Beam Led
16.3% of pixels > 230
