Default Silverstar ZXE or Night Breaker Plus??

I have ordered an HID kid from ddm (55w 8000k) for my low beams. Im not wanting to put hid's in my high beams. Based only on color, what non hid bulb is going to be the brightest white or come close to matching my HIDs. I am also open to other brand suggestions if you guys think there is one that would be a better fit! And if anyone has a pic of installed ZXE's or installed Night Breaker Plus please post!

From what i have read/heard HID's in high beams are unnecessary and not recommended.

and thats bc 90% of the time you use them you're just flicking them to let someone cross in front of you.

I just dont see spending the money you're going to for those bulbs unless you're upgrading to HID. I'd just leave it stock.

That's true. I mean ZXEs are 50 freaking bucks. I wouldn't even bother changing my hi beams. I'm still running my stocks.
