Blue and violet are very difficult for the human optical system to process correctly. They are the shortest visible wavelengths and tend to focus in front of our eyes' retinae, rather than upon it. To demonstrate this to yourself, find a dark blue store front sign or something else that's a dark, pure blue against a dark background in the absence of white light. From any appreciable distance, it's almost impossible for your eyes to see the blue lighted object as a sharply defined form...the edges blur significantly.) Blue also is a very difficult color of light to look at if it is at all intense...it stimulates the reaction we call "glare". So, culling the blue out of the spectrum lightens the optical workload and reduces glare. For more in-depth discussion of the matter, see Bullough & Rea's excellent study on the topic.

If you really want a bright light, go with HID's, but they are expensive. But stay away from tinted light bulbs, they lessen the light output, Sylvania Xtravisions are great for light output.

Yes, please, stick away from tinted bulbs.

If you must stay halogen, go for a true upgraded harness and 9007 conversion.

If you want HIDs, the best deals are typically the group deals on here. Do not go "the cheapest" route though, as that is low-beam-only kits. If you're going HID, I can't stress enough that you need to get some sort of high beam setup (even high-aimed auxilliary lights would be better than nothing, as much as I am strongly against that). My suggestion is a bi-xenon 9004 kit if you want to go a little on the cheaper side.
