I also have had this question, I really like the look of white headlights and am wondering what headlights, if any, can I use on my 2011 FX4.

Blue is a poor color for illumination, which is why the high kelvin HIDs don't perform very well. You want to stay in the 4000-5000k spectrum for optimal lighting. The Phillips Xtreme white's are pretty solid replacement halogens, and the Silverstar Ultras are now available in H13 so that is another good option as well.

Phillips Xtreme. The Silverstars look brighter due to their Kelvin scale rating fooling the eye, when it comes down to lumens the Phillips are the best.
