Default best looking headlight bulbs with best output???

so on my way home tonight, my low beam burned out in my 00 civic ex.

are their any decent looking headlight bulbs that give good output and have a HID look to them at like wal-mart or some place? what do you suggest and what kind of a price are they? thanks for the help!

I find most of the cheap blue-tinted bulbs blinding, personally. They have poor light output and usually are not street legal.

I've always pushed Silvania Silverstars. They produce a nice, bright white light and are street legal. They aren't the best in wet weather, but anything out of the 'yellow' range in a standard bulb isn't going to do well.

Another vouch for Silverstars, it lasts about a year before one blows out.

Any coated bulb will burn out faster than standard un-coated halogens.
