Recommendation for LED H13?

Can anyone recommend a good quality LED H13 bulb, which just works? Which just fits and where low/high beam just work correctly without having to fiddle around with the bulb?
Is there even such a thing?

The OsLamp 6 sided H13 lamps I’ve had for 6 years aren’t listed on EBay anymore . They might have been bought out and sell now as OSRam , I found on Amazon

Thank you for the suggestions. Would those be suitable candidates? Pretty big difference in wattage and lumen.

15 / 10 W 1500/1000 lm

25 W 2500 lm

To me, the K number is most important.
Anything above 5000K and the color turns into a blueish white.

I have now installed the LASFIT LCplusH13 LEDs (two-sided LEDs, 25W, 2500 lm) a couple of days ago. I must say I am quite impressed.

- Low-beam is significantly
better than any Halogen bulb I ever had. The low-beam area is homogeneously lit and bright. I mean like really bright.
- High-beam reaches further down the road than the Halogens did, is also brighter than the Halogen high-beam, but not as significantly better as low-beam is.

I had to adjust the beam position with the screws according to the markings I made on my garage's wall a while ago when I had the Halogen lights adjusted in the shop. So far, I haven't been flashed at.

Good to know:
- The LED's light pattern did not fit out of the box. While they pop in like "normal" Halogen bulbs, afterwards one has to make sure that the chips are aligned vertically by turning the bulbs accordingly. They are still "popped in", but can be turned nonetheless. If then low-beam and high-beam are inverted, turn the bulb 180° while still "popped in".
- The cooling fans can be heard quite clearly when the engine is off.

So far, I am very satisfied.

The Sylvania or similar with the flat two-sided configuration will likely give the closest to the proper light pattern.
