do not, i repeat, DO NOT go by "color temperature" alone. what REALLY matters is lumen output (brightness). on ebay you'll find all kinds of color claims. i tried the 6000k, and yes, they have a nice color, but are dimmer than stock. go with a name brand on the link.

Are the Sylvania superstars the most reliable aftermarket bulbs. Sorry to go a lil off-topic. Because i've heard many people use it.

PIAA are also very reliable and you can get them with a more blue tint than silverstars and they are as bright as silverstars, however, they will cost twice as much as silverstars, but still a fraction of HIDs. a search for them on ebay would probably be your cheapest source for them.
