Better Halogen bulb?

(Apologies if this has been answered)
Anybody know if there’s a better headlamp bulb(not kits) for the non-led optioned(yellowish halogen lamp) that isn’t so yellowish?
don’t really care much for the whole aftermarket LED kits, just would like something that isn’t yellow...white perhaps?
Appreciate the help!

The best solution is an HID kit, but understand if that's not the direction you want to go.
