Default Headlight Question

ok so i want my headlights and fog lights on my 06 SS to have a nice blue color to them, and without an HID conversion can i get some suggestions on what kind of replacement bulbs i could go with to achieve this look and is it even possible with the stock fog lights it looks like they are projector lights?

sorry if it sounds stupid or this has been asked somewhere before, i am not really familiar with doing any kind of lighting mods or anything.

anyways thanks in advance to all that will help me out

You can get replacement halogen bulbs on eBay, but from what I've read on a few different forums they don't last very long. The 8000K bulb will give you a slight hint of blue.

Get Silverstar bulbs or GE Nighthawks. They will be a crisper, clearer light, less "yellow" looking, but not blue.

Do not get one of those bulbs that are made to look like a HID, as the light output is actually WORSE than stock.

They make them, but the output is terrible.

I know you said you dont want hid but thats the only way you will get a hint of blue. You just have to get 6k and not 10 or 15k.

You could prob use the hid fog lights from a 03 grandprix. wbody store has a $60 dollar kit for headlights and I saw they also offer one for the grandprix foglights.
