Yes on that.
I use SilverStars. You want white light, not blue. Blue is just a gimmick which, in fact, reduces the amount of light a given bulb puts out.
SilverStars are fine, but they have a tendency to burn out faster than regular light bulbs.
In another site, our own lkchris posted a link to a place in England where they sell Euro SilverStars. They seem to be brighter. Yu may want to email or IM him for the link.
Good luck.
You will love your new Euro lights. I have Bosch euros in the 300TE and Depo euros in the 300CE. They work and look great (and no major differences between the Bosch and Depo assemblies)
(Just stay away from the high wattage blue lights, they are junk and will hurt your wiring).
