Need recommendation (Headlight Bulbs)

2001 Nissan Maxima SE.
Looking to get new bulbs. There's such a HUGE selection out there. I need some help.
I'd like to get standard Halogen bulbs, but I'd like to get them with a WHITER tint. Not yellow. Not blue. White.
Anyone have them on their car? Do you like them? What do y'all recommend?
Thanks guys!

mid level - Sylvania Silverstar Ultra - they can be pricey butyou will not be dissapointed, that is exactly what you want, a very nice clear white

high end get PIAA Xtreme White - they are definately nicer but up to 20$ more for pair

i have had both and both do not disapoint, bought Ultras for parents two cars, old gf car, and PIAAs on the max.

google search for pics

Thanks for the responses.
That's exactly the type of bulbs I was looking at on Amazon. Thanks for reinforcing my instinct. And oh yeah, I KNOW knot to do HID unless I convert and I won't convert my whole headlight assembly. LOL

Just remember, that the whiter and brighter they are, the shorter is their lifespan.

this is true most of the time, like the Ultras actually say it on they packaging that they are brighter but shorter life.
