Default New bulbs for headlights

I'm planning to do some upgrades on my lights. I first planned just to do clear corners (with titanium bulbs). However, my low beam bulb as well as one of my fog lights burnt out.

I have been reading up about replacement bulbs. I have found that PIAA extreme whites/plasmas were good replacements for the fogs. However, I was unable to find good suggestions for replacement high/low beam bulbs.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Default PIAA made headlights low/high beam bulbs too but i think set of low beams is about $70, thats...

why i use Silverstars low beam and blinker bulbs. I baryly use high beams so i don't really care about them.

Default Had Hella Optilux on--did not like them much, Silverstar by OSRAM or Sylvania are pretty good

the Silverstar lasted me pretty long now.
all of the above is an upgrade to the stock halogens without going blue-ish, just pure white
never tried the PIAA--with tax they go above $80...
