Actually the Sylvania Silverstar or any other bulb with a blue coating that advertises brighter and whiter light is a marketing gimmick. A whiter light may seem brighter to the eye, but it is an illusion. There is more info about blue tinted bulbs on Daniel Stern Lighting.
The only bulbs to consider are the ones with clear glass. The brightest bulbs are Philips Xtreme and GE Nighthawk. There is also another bulb made by Narva called Rangepower, but I have never actually seen it in person.
A headlight relay setup will improve the output of the bulbs, since full power is given to them. Upgrading to a 130 amp alternator from the 95 amp alternator will also help keep all the lights brighter.
I would think that clear headlights would be brighter than smoked headlights. It just seems like some light would be lost with them.
Also, red front turn signal bulbs will be illegal. And just an FYI most LED replacement bulbs will not fully illuminate the lamp assembly since it will not completely reflect of the inside of the lamp.
Something else worth noting is that HID retrofit is illegal, because it produced excessive glare. The optics of the headlight assembly are not designed for that style of bulb. This modification is not worth considering.

I recommend a projector retrofit for the best visibility. I've seen reviews for those headlights that you're using, and it seems like the reflector puts out a poor beam, compared to stock.
If you do a projector retrofit, then I highly recommend 4500-5500k bulb. Anything higher doesn't provide nearly as much usable visibility.
