Default Aftermarket high beam bulbs ?

Does anyone on here have after market high beam light bulbs ? I'm looking for something more 'pure white' rather than the root beer colour I'm experiencing now ..

My eyes suck at night (astigmatisms) so everyone else looks like their riding around with high beams on but my car seems to be more of a root beer colour ..

Pics help too !

s2000 projectors have some of the best spread and intensity by the cutoff
and its really rude and dangerous to drive around with your high beams on, so I don't know what to tell you.

When did I mention driving around with my high beams on ? I asked for aftermarket bulb pictures to get ideas on a bulb for my high beams ? Please don't put words in my mouth .

i have some nokya or some general high beam, i think the housing is h1, the new bulb is slightly higher wattage, but i can't really tell since it's yellow.

it's a small ****(compare to usual 9005) and not much you can do unless you going to retro fit a 9005 mount or h1 hid(which might not be the best use for on/off application)

They are for the UK because it's hard to get decent headlight bulbs in the US.

PIAA bulbs are junk, so are Nokya, so are Silverstars, etc.

If you actually want to see more you should look at the some of the bulbs on that site. They wont me m4d tytE blUe y0 but they will put out more usable light than anything else that has a tinted lense.
