It's also that bright you can stick with H7s of you want and still have perfectly good lights. I was going to see what it was like with my cheapo Sainsburys bulbs but manged to melt a load of bubble wrap on one of them after sorting out alignment so I've got night breakers now.

Quick video filmed at drivers eye level showing regular halogen bulbs in these projectors (Volvo S40):
The camera makes the light look whiter than it actually is, but beam pattern is the same. It is night and day difference compared to old worn out stock projectors.

i have boggo stock standard halfrauds halogens in mine, Happy with the light on the road, for me the "need" to go for xeonons (and the aggro) or even the "nightbreaker/ XXX % plus type bulbs" is just Not there, i did wire the shutter in for high beam, set the alignment on a mot testers tool and Cleaned/polished the outer lenses

Yep, agreed that its much improvement, had this setup for a short while when changed frosted OEM lenses to H7 projectors with NightBreahers in them - it was HUGE difference allright, but then once you put HID set there you wont want to come back to halogens.
If the hassle of going HID outweight the gains, makes perfect sense to stay with halogens and replacement projectors - its best of both. But for me it wasnt enough
