I've finally had it with my HIDs and took them off my truck a week ago. I really do not like the stock yellow lights. Just seeing who is running halogen bulbs and what brand you are using. Thanks

The best halogens on the market are the Philips Xtreme Power and Xtreme Vision, they give you the most lumen output but they are also yellow. Alittle bit whiter than the stock halogens, but still yellow.
If you want a much whiter halogen you have to go with those blue-tinted gimmick bulbs.

Sylvania Silver Stars as I recall were pretty good back in the day, they even had a slight blue'ish tint but really lit up the road well.

Any other suggestions out there?
The Mrs. needs new bulbs in her Rav4 (9006/HB4). We are not looking to do a retrofit. Rather save the money up for retro's on my f150.

Another vote here for the Philips offerings.
Xtreme Power will keep a yellowish hue, which is better for visibility.
Crystal Vision Ultra will be a touch more white/blue, but that warm white is not going to light up objects like a more yellow/natural light.
I played with the SilverStar options too in my previous truck but found that the Xtreme Powers were far and above the best option for pure lighting output. The highbeams were much better than the others also.
