Want Really white headlight bulbs!

I don't have money for HIDs or anything like that, and I love the look of the white lights on higher end cars. What kind of superwhite bulbs could I get that anyone could recommend for my 04 coupe. I was looking around and if I'm correct, the size of lights bulbs vary...such as low beams for my car being 9006 and high beams being 9005....how does that factor into getting superwhite bulbs? and where could these types of bulbs be bought? I just need a push in the right direction

So I have to find a bulb that is size 9006 and 9005 and the temp has to equal 4300k right? It cant be lower or higher?

And if I did get these...they're basically plug and play right? Meaning I just take out the bulbs I have now and plug the new ones in

They don't have to be equal at all. I ran on 6500K for over 2 years nn my Nokya Bulbs. Arctic white is what they called it. It was very nice. And yes..they are directly plug and play.
I don't run those anymore..just the yellow ones for my lowbeam(9005). I"m on H.I.Ds now..and man...if you can save up for those..its a world of a difference..

Dont buy 6000k because you'll have blue tint. What's the point if you want white light? Get as close to 4300K as possible
