Default a stupid head light question

ok so i was gonna do the hid conversion kitbut i cant afford it currently as i had to just do a wheel bearing, tie rod, tires, and an alignment. so i gotta just get a set of lights for now cause currently i cant see **** without high beams. the question i have is the site im looking at has two wattage options and 3 color choices. either 55watt or80watt im hoping that is not total but instead 110 and 160 total wattage for 2 bulbs. i know that the yellow ones are gross, but i waswondering in your guys oppinion whether i should go with clear or hyper white they are the same price but the clear are normally higher priced. Any help would be beneficial.

ps i know 55watt is the max in my state for legal brightness but im so low im not worried bout getting in trouble plus i got a hook up for inspections so its all good.

Have you tried getting your headlights re-aimed? You've dropped your car two inches. That is going to change your headlight alignment, esp if you dropped the front more than the rear.

ya i wish i could but the bastard who put the projos on it that had the car before me bought a cheap set can reaim them or anything they are what they are it sucks, everytime i go to do something beneficial like the hid conversion and new lamps something has to be repaired. i hate it but i just need a new set of lights i have one out already too.

Cheap Blue lights have a blue coating that actually makes them have lower light output. How about just trying a new set of Sylvania bulbs?
