if your not gonna get HID's, i say just leave them stock. I went through at least 5 sets of "hyper whites" or whatever the fuck you wanna call them. They all suck besides piaa, but if your gonna spend close to a hundred, why notspend 300 and get real hid's?

put Piaa platinum white 9005s in your lows. ull have to cut the 2 notches off in the connector, but it will cheap, reliable, great light output, and look classy. even an stock 9005 in the low looks nice and that will cost you like $5. and the corners and blinkers should be amber. i prefer the clean and oem look.

lower the kelvins = yellow
mid kelvins = white
upper = blue
high = purple
none of them actually emit those high kelvin rating claims like 8000 or 10000. the bulbs are coated to make it look like what it should if the gas inside the bulb was actually emiting the color.
generally the higher you go up the worse your visibility will be especially in the rain. so you'll look cool, but you can't see anything.
fyi all oem XENON systems use 4100K capsules in which the gas makes the color. no crappy coatings.
