I use MTEC 4750K Cosmos blue ... for my Corona ring bulb (LCI E60) .. still has a hint of very light yellowish color ... cannot find (except the GP Thunder) one that is >5000K
They are whiter ... no more those dull yellowish look ... but NOT brighter !! For brighter, you will have to go to HID conversion kit.

Paid $38US

Please note that brighter bulbs may be also hotter; melts the covers.

Other than a bluer bulb, your best bet would be an HID kit but that will completely drown out the headlight.
