you can go either phillips diamond vision or Raybrig. I reckon they are both good. but the whiter it is, the more shocking it is in the rain.

They look like normal H4 bulbs with blue tinted glass.

Shitter in the rain/fog because yellow is the best colour in the spectrum that isnt effected as much by fog and rain, which sorta like disperses the colour as the beam hits the fog/ water particles in the air... dunno if thats correct.. but yeh...

trust the guy, and trust me.. an aftermarket white coloured(output) bulb is shocking in the rain.. unless its HID..and like aaron said it would be blue coated.. blue because it neutralises the yellow output of a normal bulb, hence the white colour

Get a cheap pair of 5000K bulbs (ebay, discount shop, dodgy shop) and try them out. If you don't like them, you're out of pocket by $20-40 only, instead of the $100+ for Diamondvision if you had purchased them locally. Then you can decide to stay on the 5000K bulbs or go with HIDs (which will blind everyone if your headlights are not optimised for HID)

Take yours out and find out. Don't touch the glass with your skin. If you do, wipe it clean with a clean tissue. The oils from your skin will cause cracks and bulb failure.
