I have factory Xenons and just went with these new COB LED bulbs in 9005 HB3 for my high beam bulbs.

I have DRL coded I think at about 40% level so I was a little worried about them firing without flicker at that low of a voltage. But I took the plunge and 2 weeks later they seem to be working out great as a white DRL upgrade and WOW, what an incredible high beam! Every once in a while there is a little flicker in the DRL setting after starting the engine, but I can accept that.

The wattage is just 36watts, lower than the stock halogen at somewhere around 55-60watts so somewhat easier on the electrical system.

They also appear to have H7 bulb formats as well in this design.
