Question your h7 headlight upgrade experiences

so i tried to make my high beams look a little nicer by trying to upgrade them to the Phillips xenon look and was very disappointed by their look. I started by just installing one side to see how much of a difference it was going to make and to my surprise it looked just as yellow as the stock. I just don't understand how they can advertise on the box that the output will be super white/bluish tint. so im asking if anyone else has attempted this upgrade and which brand has had the best look without going into hid kits. Im thinking of trying out the silverstar tomorrow. I will post the results in the evening. Till then please leave your experiences so I know which will be the best result.

I'm sure there are more posts in other sections of this forum. Hope this helps.
