HIDs will be your best option. but if you can't afford them, eurolite bulbs are white. but make sure you don't get the plasma filled ones (i.e. street legal ones). i had them on the 4runner. they were more purple than white and the change wasn't that noticeable. i think i got them from www.aieonline.com

European Silverstars by Osram (same as Sylvania). $34 shipped, just got mine, awesome, totally white - no purple, blue or other annoying colors.

i got 7000k blubs off ebay...15 bucks shipped and they are white....only blue i see is around the edges of the beam pattern and a lil bit around the headlight when ur lookin at them.....plus unlike alot of the fake hib blubs out there it doesnt cover ur light i see much better then the stockers now.

Not to rain on your parade, but I had a pair of those on another vehicle that took the H4 style and they didn't last long. Granted the car had DRL, but the Siverstars lasted a lot longer for me. May is was just the extended use, but I was somewhat pissed.

Osrams are NOT the same as Sylvania.
Osram Silverstars produces 50% more light some of which is used to throw a 20m longer beam. This is done by a tighter wound filament. No PIAAs 55w=110w free energy marketing crap.They are only available in Europe and are clear. No tinted class, etc.
Sylvania Silverstars uses a tinted light sapphire colour glass. I'm not sure if they produces more light, but they give off a clean and white colour, and are as bright as stock bulbs.
Some site claim they produce 20%-30% more light. However, Sylvania does to make any claims to greater light output.

i have been using Raybrig bulbs from japan in my rx7 and r6 and they work great. they have lasted quite a while and still are bright. definitely check them out too. they are a little more expensive than your cheap $25 bulbs but you will notice the difference. the cheaper ones leak the gases that are contained in the bulb over time, decreaseing their brightness. im a dealer so if you guys are interested let me know. heres a pic of what they look like.
