I can guarantee that the HIDs will be brighter than your halogens, even though you're running 9005s in your low beams. As to whether they're bright enough, that's gonna be for you to determine of course. When I first moved to Oregon, I moved to the country. I went from living in NYC with approximately 11 million other people to living in a small town that had a population of 2400 in the "city" limits. I did not live in "city" limits - so I know what you're saying when you say you live way out in the country and need brighter headlights. My girlfriend is from the same very small town outside of Portland, and we go out there regularly to see her parents, who also live outside of city limits (and thus beyond any reach of actual street lights on some of the roads). My HIDs kick ass for the drive. Windy country roads lined by woods on each side, except the north side of the highway where there's a big ass river on the other side of those woods, about 100 yards through.

Personally, I say try them out. I really don't think you'll be disappointed. Worst case scenario is that you feel like you've not gotten your money's worth; I don't think I can accept returns but let me confirm that. If I can't for some reason, I'm willing to bet you can resell them on here with no problem at all. Actually, scrap that. Return them to me and I'll give you your money back. I'll take the chance with them and if I can't get my money back on them, I'll keep them.

For your purposes I would recommend 4300k for the yellowish as opposed to bluish tint, to maximize your depth perception. What you experienced with the blue lights is the EXACT SAME THING I experienced when I had blue lights on my '87 Pathfinder when I lived out in BFE. I HATED the blue. It looked cool but I couldn't see worth a sh1t, and they were even worse in the rain which here in the PNW, is a BIG problem.

If you really don't want yellow, I'd go 5000k for the cooler white. I've got 5000k on my car now and the trips out to BFE are just fine, even in the rain. I wouldn't have minded having the 4300k too though and if I were to do it again, I might go with that.
