Default Lights a bit yellow - bulb options?

Hi all

Looking at my headlights yesterday it looked like the dipped beam was a bit yellow. Prof Peach (who owned the car previously) thinks they are probably xenons but the xenons on cars i have previously owned are a lot brighter and whiter (almost blueish) when on.

Can someone please confirm that these are in fact xenons and if so, whether they should be providing a different hue?

If so, I'm going do a bulb change so would love some recommendations for suitable bulbs that won't deliver error codes and offer a better quality of light.

Some photos attached to help determine the situation.

Thanks

Mossy
