Paul The Philips & Osram should both be better than standard dip beam at least I hope so. It is dip I want to improve. I agree with your comments about people driving on dip everywhere making it harder to pass them.
I have vintage Sunbeam with a dip switch on the steering boss. Its marked Dip & Normal i.e. in 1930s you were expected to be on main beam.
