    likely your best bet would be just upgrading to HID or LED for whiter light, I haven't really had any luck with a halogen bulb achieving that for me but someone else might be able to better advise a solution

    Before I went with the Morimoto HID kit, I tried the Sylvania Star Ultra and Sylvania ZXE bulbs from the auto parts store. The Silverstars had slightly more output and nearly identical color to stock. The ZXE variant had a whiter color but less output over stock.

    If I had to do it over again, I would have gone with HID from the start.

    Did you replace the stock projectors when you got the HID's? If not how do they do with the stock projectors on

    I've used PIAA white halogen bulbs with success and would go that way again if I can't find something stable and suitable for the Tacoma.
