What color temperature are the stock headlights? (brightest replacements?)

so I want to get some good replacements for my low and high beams because they seem like they're getting dimmer, but maybe it's just me.

anyways, I don't want any blue stuff for my replacements, I just want something that's really bright and illuminates very well, but none of that blue-tinted stuff.

so what should I look at getting?

Are the headlight lenses clear, or cloudy/yellowed? If they're not clear, pick up a restoration kit at an auto parts store. It seems most of 'em work pretty well.

For more light, you could consider installing 9011 (high beam) and 9012 (low beam) HIR bulbs. It requires modifying the bulbs' bases to fit. Instructions here.
