Default bright NON-HID bulb upgrade options?

Plain and simple do not like the HID look once installed. They are bright but not ultra white like I prefer. I ordered the DDM's and they still have a blue tinge that is aggarvating on long night drives.

Are there any ultra white non blue tint bulbs available that are better than stock output for the lows, highs and fogs for our trucks.

I tried the sylvania silver star ultra's and did not like the bluish tint they cast at night either.

Thanks

i have these right here Matrix 01-123 - Matrix Ultimate White Light Bulbs - Overview - SummitRacing.com

there a little brighter than stock, and are pure white. ive had them on my truck for about 3 years, and they have lasted way longer than more expensive bulbs ive bought.

Thank you I'll look into them. Anyone else have experience with other bulbs out there.

Within the experiences ive had, Im willing to bet any "bright" halogen bulb is going to have a blue tint to them. Im guessing you have 6k bulbs now? why not just change to a 43-4500k bulb..

Sylvania ultra's pure crisp white, and Much brighter over factory. Advance auto has them for around $50 I think. I loved mine but for what ya pay for them you could have 4300k and be a pure white. I have 5000k ddm hid's and theyre almost pure white. There's barely any blue tint at all.

yeah the 4500K bulbs are pure white. I have 6K bulbs in my lows and fogs however my lows have 55w ballasts which wash out the color to about a 4500k bulb,. Here are pictures, needless to say i am going to buy the 4500K bulbs for my lows to match.
Wish i would have done more research!
