i think 6th gen is also the same as 5th gen so i'm gonna say that ur low bean is 9006 and low beam is 9005, i would recommend PIAA if u want soem sweet ass ones but if u dont want to spend alot of money then go on ebay and find some hyperwhites on there

On the 5th gens, low = 9006, high = 9005. I'm not sure if its the same for you though.
You want hyperwhites, but remember that the more bluish you get (HID excluded), the less light output you get in general. I have some Raybrig lights right now that look sweet, but they suck to drive with. I've used PIAA superwhites and had good luck with them, but they don't have that super hyperwhite look if that's what you're going for.

I've had eurolite headlights but they haven't lasted long at all so either I'm just a moron at putting them in or they aren't reliable/longlasting bulbs so steer clear to save money.
