I'm not a massive fan of the standard yellow tinted bulbs either but from my experience of trying numerous supposed upgrade bulbs I always end up putting the standard ones back in.
I've tried a plethora of different led bulbs with a multitude of led numbers. They're either too blue, not bright enough or the beam pattern is sh!te and just appears as a tiny white dot rather than filling the light cluster.

Philips blue vision are great for a non-led option. They have a really nice white light and are a good replacement for the number plate bulbs too.
