Default changing caliber headlights, has anyone done it?

I have been putting in some serious thought about changing the cali headlight bulbs out to a brighter white. I know that it is an already bright bulb in there but I want more of a bright light when driving. I'm not talking going to HID but just a better bulb. Has anyone else replaced theirs yet. I have been looking at this one the Silverstar Ulta by Sylvania.

I have looked on ebay and can't find the H13 bulb with the Silverstar Ultra model also known as 9008.

Does anyone know where to get them for a good price online or in Canada in the stores?

on ebay I purchased 8500k h13 9008 for 20$ shipped. These are blue but dont give as much light as stock. I then purchased 6000k H13 and these are more white than blue, have a blue cast and really like them. Silverstars from wht I read are not any better than the aftermarkets. The Gp Thunder 8500k had to be trimmed down for the pigtail to push and lock on. Keep in mind the higher the color the less bright they are. I am trying to figure out how to replace the front turn signal bulbs. I am putting led's in them but it looks as though you have to go thru wheel well on a caliber. Just search "H13/9008 xenon" and you will get 100 results in ebay. good luck.

The onlyrecognized brand company I can think of that you can get the H13's from currently are Nokya. They make an arctic white and a cosmic white version in standard and high wattage versions. They offer matching H10's also for the foglights. Be careful when you're looking at the kelvin rating on the bulbs though, anything over about 5.5k makes the color go from a blue to a purple in the higher 9k ranges. You can get a ticket for them being blue or purple because the car doesn't come as HID optional so they know its not factory.
