Default Headlight Bulbs

I would like to replace my headlight bulbs in my 2005 SC430 ( both high and low beams) I have read so much about the different type bulbs and all the manufacturers claims, I am getting dizzy
Is there supplier that can guide me to the best bulbs I can purchase to replace my bulbs with:
Bulbs that are brighter than my OEM bulbs
Bulbs that will last, and match in light color or tint
and Bulbs that won't require some difficult rewiring or adding transformers etc....

I used 6000K HID ( OEM is about 4300k) from Phillips for the low beam and 5000K Halogen with a slight blue tint for the high beam/DRL. Been very happy with the results so far and had them in place for about one full year now. Much whiter than OEM. Also switched out my parking light bulbs to LED white and they look a bit better. The only things that are OEM color from the front are the foglights but IMHO, yellowish looking fogs seem to be more natural looking than bright white fogs.
