Question Best Headlight Bulb/Lamp replacement for '04?

What's the best for my 04, preferably available eBay? Hoping to pick up a paid on eBay tonight while they're having the 20% off everything sale. If you need more details on the sale let me know I'm happy to fill anyone in.
My right HID has been out for a few months now so no low or high beams. I've replaced the fogs with a new set a few years back (can't find receipt or packaging) but they're a very bright white, somewhat blueish tinted set that light up the road much better than the older bulbs even when I had two. Hoping to try matching that hue, but not essential Just looking for what people here think might be the best?

I know this can be highly subjective. I know there's many other threads in the forum about this. Hoping to get some feedback in the next couple hours while this sale's still going on.

Thanks to any and all!!

So if you know there are many other threads with info, what details are you still missing? You haven't defined a budget or color temp so waaaaaaay too many options right now.

And sorry...if you replaced your fogs with a white with slight blueish tint, there is no way they are actually brighter than the standard bulbs. You lose light output as you go up in the color temp. It may look better, but unlikely to actually be brighter.

Your best option is to do a ZKWR lens swap with Phillips 85122 bulbs. If you can't foot the bill for $90 bulbs, Morimoto XB's are a great bang for the buck too. Doing the lens swap DOES require you to open the headlight and put the new lens in but the light output and sharpness you gain from it is better than any single bulb you can put in, period. The lens's are roughly $40 anywhere you shop for them.
