Depends on the brand really. I picked up a pair last year that are exactly what you're looking for. Super White w/only a light blue in them. They cost me about $50 - $60 USD and only sold them in pairs. But they only lasted me a year so I'm back to regular replacement bulbs now...

My Sylvania Silverstars look exactly like what you describe. Bluish color to headlight but a pure white light is cast on the road. About $20 each at an auto parts store near you.

My stock lights were so bad I had no idea that my driver's lamp was horribly out of aim. As soon as I installed the Silverstars it was very plain that the driver side lamp was too low and was actually aimed towards the right edge of the road. With a little trial and error (don't want to blind oncoming traffic) I've found a pattern that gives me awesome visibility.

Head light bulbs are a pretty easy swap. If I recall correctly, you undo the plastic tightener by turning it back counter-clockwise, then unplug the old bulb and pop back the metal retaining clips, then the bulb comes out. Careful not to touch the bulb/glass part w/your fingers though.

I added the Piaa supers to my heads and love them.
_____Superwhite_____________Stock_______
I'm using clear 18 watt bulbs in my corners. I got them from Home Depot™ for about $2 for a 4 pack. These are the same lights I'm usingin my footwells.
For the 96-98 bumpers, I'm just using the stock clear bulbs that came out of the facotry orange bumpers.

Best
I'm new to this forum, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. The best ones I've seen are by Motion R. I got mine from eBay. They're 90/100w as opposed to all the others that are 80/100w, but I've had them in for over 6 months without probems. If you are spending $60, get these -- they outperform all the others. I've seen these when compared to PIAA and some other brands and these are cleaner and brighter. They're white with the blue tint, and if your headlights are off they reflect blue on the mirrored back of the headlight asembly. They're periodically on eBay, not all the time though, so don't come after me if you don't find them!:eek: :eek: :eek:
