The box says my old bulbs were xenon HID white. Who makes hyper whites?
Are they halogen or xenon gas?

I tried the bulbs and I went back to the hyper whites from Pepboys. I see
less visible light from blues than whites.

I've got some sylvania cool blues or whatever the hell they're called.
They're really no better than the stockers since they're the same wattage,
just perhaps a little whiter. I would just look for some normal halogens
with a higher wattage output. At least, that's what I'm gonna do whenever I
have to replace the bulbs.
