Best Bulb Replacement?

Hey guys been a long time since I was on here,
I have ddmtunings HID kit in my 99F250 with a harley davidson headlight conversion, but I'm getting rid of my HIDs now. To many people here have them and I realize how much of a pain it is on the other driver.
So my question is what brand do you guys recommend for good ol' regular bulbs?
I dislike the gross yellow color,maybe white or a hint of blue I would prefer.
My bulbs are H13s since of the conversion.
Thanks guys.

I just put in the HID's in my F350, (Notto SE). I first ordered the 15k lights but CarID recommended the 10k because they wouldn't be so nasty. They were right. Haven't been flahed yet and they still look great. Sylvania Silver Stars would probably work for ya if you still want to go that route. I had them on the farm truck and their white enough! Scary what I see now with out the halo of the OEM bulbs.

I have 8k in mine and the thing is I can't aim my headlights down because since the Harley conversion where I cut into my header panel to make them fit, I lost the option of aiming my headlights. With my HIDs im getting frustrated as well because of daytime running lights on the truck that's making them work incorrectly. I have the harness to bypass to go directly from the battery but when I connect it they don't work at all. So I figure just go back to the regular bulbs that I've never had this much hassle with.
