Default What kind of bulbs Provide white/blue light?

First of all, I did a search, but didn't find the specific info I'm looking for.

2002 EX V6 Coupe

I wantbetter headlight bulbs, but I don't want to do an HID mod. I just want to replace the bulbs with something brighter, and preferably with the white/bluish color.

Also, are there seperate bulbs for high and low beam?
I want to walk into AutoZone and be able to tell them exactly what I want.

So, what do I want? What kind of bulbs do you guys recommend, and what size/model number, etc do I need to know before I walk into the store?

Thanks...

should be 9005 for low beams and 9006 for high beams I believe.... Sylvania Silverstars are about the best/brightest without going HID....

My local Autozone has a pair of high beam Silverstars in stock for $50. I read the DIY for changing headlight bulbs, so I think I'll go for it whithin the next day or so. Any additional advice regarding installation is appreciated. I'll post up on my experience and opinions when I'm done.

don't touch the bulb part with your hands, the oils on your hands drastically shorten their life if touched...

This is good place to buy those bulbs for your car, the people in those AutoZone stores will more than likely even put those bulbs in for you , they do in my area of Ohio:

The Silverstars are worth it dude. For sure. And sir_nasty is absolutely right, refrain from touching the bulbs with your bare hand if at all possible.
