Stock Headlight suggestions?

I am looking for a little more light, without too much work. I dont want to rewire from 9004 to 9007. Do people have any preference on replacement bulbs? I dont want the annoying bluish imitation HID lights, just a little better view if possible. Has any one used these, PIAA 9004 Xtreme Plus Headlight Replacement Bulb? Anyway any useful input would be greatly appreciated. And if i missed some obscure FAQ sticky here GOD FORGIVE ME!
TIA

to tell you the truth ive wasted alot of money on stupid aftermarket bulbs. the piaas in my opinion are the best aftermarket ones, they are ver bright. But afterwhile its not really worth it because when you switch from aftermarket back to stock youll be more happy with visibility. i know the yellow is gay but to me it has the best driving visibilty in the rains. Thats because white lights dont disperse that well when it rains. i had to put foglights on my car withaftermarket bulbs, because in heavy rainstorm and snowstorms i cans see ish.

I think your best option if you're actually looking for more light output (lumens), then your best bet would be actual HIDs. You'll never go back to stock. But if you don't want to go that route, then Silverstars might be your best option. If and when HIR bulbs become available in 9004 then try that also. But for pure white light, HIDs are the way to go.

Yea get one with a higher wattage. Be careful though. If the wattage is more than what you wiring harness is rated for, you can/will burn up your wires.
