Default Good high-beam bulbs?

I just installed the Silverstar bulbs and am not happy. IMO, they're still yellow-ish. Whiter than stock, but still mediocre. What can i get that's really REALLY white and bright?

Good in terms of color or light output? Good to me, means bright and without coloring. Those who want colors, are paying solely for appearance.

Good quality halogen/xenon blended bulbs emit halogen-looking light, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of color but, perform very nicely when activated.

PIAA, Raybrig, etc.. they are all "show bulbs" that are heavily marketed. If you actual care about the performance of a bulb, you should check elsewhere.

When it comes to high-beams, i want two things:

1) As white as possible
2) As bright as possible

In that order

These are only for long-distance night-time trips, so i don't really want any color. A slight hint of blue would be nice, but i don't really care. That being said, Silverstars are pretty bright, but they still look yellowish. You don't think PIAA would make a good replacement?

How would you compare the color / light output?
