Default Halogen headlights

I want to buy new halogen headlight bulbs for my 2011 f150, I was wondering if people had suggestions on the best halogen bulbs to get, that displays a cool white color with the best light output. Im not interested in a HID replacement, or a retrofit. Thank you

I used Phillips crystal vision Ultra bulbs and they were a lot brighter than stock, but, then last month I switched to the 2013 oem Hids with the TRS 50watt bulbs and ballast.

Thats the only two Options for Improved light output! I chose oem 2013 hids, as I didn't want to wait 4-6 months for retros or some of the issues associated with them as well!

I didn't have an issue with the output of the stock halogen headlights. I just bought the 2013 HIDs because I like the looks of them. The extra light output of the HIDs was just a bonus.
