If you're going to replace halogen with halogen bulbs, you'll be disappointed with the results. Some halogen bulb claim to be "xenon", but all they're doing is applying blue film on their bulb to tint the color so it kinda looks like xenon. Problem with that is it cuts out the light output so you don't get the brightness and after a while, the blue film flakes off leaving a mess and back to dull color.
You can do an HID conversion which will get you the brightness and aesthetic coloring you're probably looking for. Easy to do.

If you just want halogen bulbs.... the whitest halogen bulbs that even come close to sniffing HID white levels are Philips Diamond Visions. They don't have the best lighting output however and are not DOT approved for road use due to reduced lumens, sold rather as off road halogen bulbs. That's what most who want to stick with halogens but get white levels go for. They'll be ok for city driving where roads are for the most part well lit.
