Default Hella headlights... what now?

I'm wanting to get rid of these stock bulbs in there. I want something better but nothing "blue". I want bright white lights; probably LEDs. I'm confused on how that all gets wired in though... Anyone want to shed light on the topic? Share some pics? I think I'm most interested in LEDs less someone has a better option?

If you are talking about the headlights you'll want to look into getting a HID Kit. There are plenty of plug and play kits that will give you a nice true white light output. Look for a kit with a 4600k-5000k rating.

If you're talking about turn signals, then you can look into a LED Bulb called "switchbacks" they are a constant white untill you put on your turn signal, which then they flash orange. Those require a bit more wiring since you'll need a resistor.
