I've always used silvania silverstars. for about 40 bucks for two you get a nice pure whitish light with a hint of a blue or purple tint. I've used them on every car i had and they never burned out.

I'm a cheapy person and went to Advanced Auto and bought some APC superwhite bulbs, they work great, I love them. Bright as hell too, I usually get the "hey ******* your brights are on flash" from on comers when I have low beams on.

The blueish tint is all for show, if you want a bulb that performs drop the tint

I have a G5 and I my lights are the best I've ever had (17th car).

But to change your bulbs...read your owners manual.

Well then you might have a lil electrical problem. But looking at lights on during the day won't really make your eyes hurt since they are already used to the bright ass sunlight all around you.
