Do use the
HIR bulbs (shop around, price varies, but make sure you're getting the real Toshiba ones and not knockoffs). Use the 9011 (HIR1) in the high beams and the 9012 (HIR2) in the low beams, don't use a high beam bulb in the low beam headlamps. The HIRs produce much more light than any variant of 9005 and 9006. And yes, avoid the "extra white" bulbs with blue glass (all of them; Sylvania Silver Star, PIAA, Hoen, Polarg, Nokya, TruView, etc. - all the same scam). There is no European Osram Silver Star in the 9005/9006 format, but that's irrelevant because you should use the HIRs. Pay attention to the slight
difference in base keys between 9005/9006 and 9011/9012.
Before you swap in the better bulbs, do restore the headlamp lenses. The only kit worth messing with, IME, is
this one; it includes a hardcoat that gives your lenses a fighting chance of remaining clear for longer than it takes you to wash your hands after polishing them (it's the original hardcoat that gets all cloudy with sun exposure - when you polish the lenses, you're polishing off the original hardcoat, and the base plastic will degrade even faster/worse afterward unless it is recoated).
Make sure the lamps are
aimed correctly, that's critical to good seeing.
And remember that "HID kits" in halogen-bulb headlamps
do not work safely or effectively, which is why they are illegal.
