Default I dont understand what you mean by Xenons. If you are referring to HID post some pictures...

of your ballasts and bulbs or something, cause you were saying that you had Xenon turn signals and I think that you are confused with that and the blueish tint type light that comes from knockoff xenon things like blue blubs. And FYI, bright blue light is actually less bright than if you get a pure white(meaning you see less with blue tinted bulbs). Sorry but that xenon turnsignal comment a while back was still causing curiousity in my mind.

Silverstars dont have a blueish tint. They are pure white. The best are the Euro Osram Silverstars.

Default They look white and they are brighter than stock, but not by much.

I did the 9004/9007 bulb conversion as described on 20v.org and then I ran Osram Silverstars on my 90 and that made a noticeable difference both on appearance and vision.
