Our 2016 Amarok (prefacelft) is fitted with halogen bulbs and in dipped beam they are not bright enough.

I have carried out some research and these appear to be the best direct replacements:

OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER 200, H7

Does anyone have experience or feedback on these?

I've always fitted Nightbreakers in all my vehicles and found them to be a good upgrade over standard. The trade off is reduced life expectancy, the shortest lived only lasted 2 years although I've got a pair in my pickup that are 5+ years old which is more than acceptable in my view.

Made a noticeable difference whenever I’ve used them.

Fitted them to my wife’s Skoda Citigo. The standard bulbs were truly woeful.
Replacements were comparing night and day……you won’t be disappointed.
They’ve been on the car six years now with no problems.

The main thing I noticed with my last bulb upgrade was the ability to still be able to see the nearside edge of the road when faced with oncoming traffic at night. Removed the guesswork lol.
So glad I’ve a car with modern lighting now.
