Ok,
i am sick and i am bored so i figured i would share what i have found out about aftermarket light bulbs and which ones are the britest.

OK, after going through 3 sets of headlight convertions i bought of ebay. i finally got the one that doesn't leak, whooooowhoooo!!!
Every time i ordered the hedlights they would come with set of light bulbs. so i figured to test them one against another.
when i got my first set of headlight convertion it came with a set of light bulbs (don't remember the name of them, Nate used to sell them), i blew up the light bulb so i had to get replacement. So i got this ones http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871667881 they do produce a lot more light than stock ones. they produce nice white glow.
when i got my second set of headlights, they came with this set of light bulbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871925403 they are Krypton charged and man they make some blue light. they are the britest lightbulbs i have owned so far.
After a reading a while and doing research on light bulbs i found out that PIAA makes a nice light bulbs that glow at 5000K at low beam.

Most of the light bulbs that people sell on ebay will glow between 4100-4500K. it will make nice white light but if you want that blue HID look you will need to look at something that can glow at 5000K.
something like PIAA super plasma GT, or http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1783582338
