agree with rominl, those are some of the closer ones that looks like HID. IIRC, they are typically of a higher watt bulbs, so you gotta upgrade your wiring harness if you dont want your stock harness to melt (costly to replace).

PIAA Xtreme White was the best "white" halogen bulb I've ever experimented with, and it lasted me well over a year without color fade either. Here's a quick pic. The bulb lighted up the streets almost to HID par and looked good doing it, the downside is PIAA is pricey.

yup piaa is a bit pricey, but if it lasts long and good color, i think it's worth it
