white = Hiper industries or any of the generic bulbs with a lot of blue tint on them...
also...how can oEM bulb be rate a 3 on a scale of 5 in whiteness?
it isn't a BIT white...it should more be like a 1 or 2 MAX...
I used the PIAA 55w -> 100w bulbs (the NON-tinted ones) and
they were just a bit lighter than stock...
if you gave a bulb a rating of 2 on whiteness scale, do you mean
they are REALLY YELLOW?

The Phillips BlueVision are whiter than OEM. In relation to other bulbs bulbs, they are not as intensely white.
Yes, if I gave a bulb a 2, that means they were yellower than OEM.
White = any bulb that produces whiter than OEM bulbs. There are a few bulbs that do not have a blue tinted capsule that are white in light output compared to OEM bulbs.
The OEM bulbs rate a 3 on the scale because their color temp is actually a bit white... especially when compared with other bulbs. 1 on the scale would be a yellow fog light, 5 on the scale would be a normal bulb that didn't have a hint of yellow in it and was intensely white.
So 3 is OEM white... which has a slightly yellow shade to it. 2 Would be something like the 85watt PIAA H1's, which are brighter than OEM, but yellower in appearance.
