Post Quick lesson in bulbs?

I am getting a little frazzled with searching and reading about bulbs.

Briefly, what D.O.T approved High-Beam bulbs can I put in my car that will match the color of my HID's.

What about corner lights? What options do I have there. Blue/white is illegal, right?

I would really appreciate it if someone could clarify.

It's for Tim's good.

just put in some Eurolite Xenon Crystals into my car. They aren't quite as bright as the HIDs, but they sure are whiter than the stock ones. When you turn on the high beams though, they blend in quite well! Cheap too!

My Optiblue 9005 Hyperwhite high beams match the stock HID's pretty well when lit. Got em at autodynamic.com
