I use some sweet yellow ones from w w w. s u p e r l u m i n a t i o n. c o m. Cops have given me a little trouble, but I still leave them in and now they don't say anything. The visiblity is great with them, especially in the rain.

yellowish tint gives u the greatest visibility in rain and fog. Thats why a lot of fog lights are yellow.

but if you want just a brighter, neutral color light bulb, i would go with the Sylvania Silverstars. A lot of people with Lancers love them, and I put them in my mom's Grand Caravan and it's WAY brighter. I definitely recommend them

PIAA = overpriced.

I got a set for my Montero. The give off a whiter yellow which translates to slightly better visibility compared to stock. I wanted a whiter appearance, and PIAA suck. Definately not worth the price either.

I really miss having HIDs from my EVO.

i had the piaa hid's on my civic. i liked the way they looked, purpleish tint. if you want to see them check out www.cardomain.com/id/evo4g63awd and then click on the 93 civic, i think its one of the last pages. i had a lot of compliments on my lights, and i could see a lot better with them too. its your call on what color you want.
