Default What's the best bulb short of buying HIDS?

Would like a slightly different look for the headlights but don't want to splurge on HIDs yet. What are some good replacement bulbs that have a slight white or blue tint, but aren't too ricey? Also, are they difficult to install?

Gracias

PS. Was driving home on the highway yesterday and a wood plank flew up (after getting picked up by an SUV - never even saw it coming) and hit my front bumper ... scratch city .. grrrr *venting*

I have 2 sets of PIAA Super Plasma bulbs in stock on Special $95 Originally $125
They have that purplish blue color to them like a BMW

From my experience, almost anything thats really good (Xtra close to HID) is too expensive because they burn out too quick . But i did like my Piaa Super Plasmas when I had them, they kicked *** but still lasted only about a year. IMO i'd save up and buy the real deal if I were you.

I use PIAA Superwhites...I like them.
They definately arent HID's but, still decent.

What is the correct wattage for the R? Anyone know? Does it matter?
