DRL/High Beam Halogen Bulb

For those of you who have swapped out the factory halogens and installed aftermarket 9005 halogens in your 3GS...which bulbs have emitted the whitest light for the high beams? I'm trying to find something that will be a closer match to my 6K HID headlamps...

Sylvania SilverStars are still way too yellow...

Any experiences with the PIAA Super Plasma's? 6000K? 7500K?

Thanks in advance.

I installed a set of PIAA Super Whites. They were around $75 a set

The DRL I believe only receive MINIMAL voltages therefore the light output is weak, thus making the light seem weak. That's what it's supposed to do.

Yeah, I know there really isn't anything to do about the DLR lights because they are the halogens running at half wattage...I am mostly concerned about the high beam aspect...I want a nice white beam with a blue tint.
