Try Osram Cool Blue Intense D1S bulbs.
About as "white" as your going to get with quality bulbs from Osram or Phillips. comes out of the box at around 5500K and then get gradually whiter to roughly 6000K.
Sure, there are bulbs out there that are even "bluer" then that.. At up to 12.000K, but your sacrificing performance for looks.. But basically any 35W D1S bulb will fit your car if you have stock xenons.

Anyone tried and compared LED lighting kit with HID? Which of the two are the most durable and emits better/brighter lighting?

No LED kis out there that are remotly close to a HID kit. Tried a 24W and a 30W LED kit in both projector and reflector type housings. The reflector couldnt make usable light and dazzled. The projector style didnt fill all the way out to the same width as xenon and range was down maybe 10 yards.

Tried in my BMW and on my Ducati Multistrada bike.

I recommend checking out ddmtuning.com - I've been using their D2S bulbs and matched HID conversion kits in my last 3 vehicles with no problems. I'm going to try their HID ultra canbus kit for the fogs when I get a chance.

The 5500K would be the brightest white, with the 6500K being a tint of blue.
