Does anyone have or know where I can find proper instructions for converting halogen lamps into xenon lamps. I've searched the forum with no luck.

WTF is Xenon? I could have sworn it was a radioactive gas. Or maybe that's Krypton (Beware Super Man!)
Feel free to never use that word again. 
The term you are searching for is HID (High-Intensity Discharge) and they use Mercury Vapor, not the amazingly-cool-to-say "Xenon"
Go check out the "Aesthetics" section of our grande forum.
I can imagine the next cool car being called the "Mercury Vapor"

-Experiment or
-Station Wagon or-
-Computeriz or-

Hahaa Xenon bulbs. Yeah, you remove your old bulb, and insert the new Xenon bulb. I'm guessing he's also talking aboug HID.

Maybe talking about the so-called xenon-filled halogen bulbs? Those crap ones on ebay?

"Brightest" is subjective.
Food for thought: noontime sunlight is 5000k - 5500k.

How can brightest be subjective? i can see prefrence being subjective, but brightness is a proven fact.

Agree and disagree.
What you perceive to be "brighter" may not be the same as what someone else thinks is "brighter". How your eye receives light is not the same as how others eyes receive light. Is it not opinion comparing which is brighter - incandescent vs flourescent? One is a "white" while the other is "yellow".
Here's a question for you:
What time of day is "brightest"?
