Default who has blue, or bluish headlights?

funny question, but who has blue or bluish colored headlights? where did you get them, how much, and do they closely match a HID bulb?

only asking because i have 6k HID fogs, bright and blue. stock headlight bulbs though, and it just looks funny now. i'm not going to buy HID headlights because i don't want to be blinding people with the factory housings.

so i'm looking for a headlight bulb that closely matches the look of an HID.

Honestly you wont find them, without using a xenon charged gas, you cant get the color change necessary to have the bluish effect if you want good quality HIDs the check out HIDnation.com its 36$ a pair ans 16$ to ship (which is rediculous) but for 52$ you can go to advance and get sylvania replacement bulbs. The only downfall of HID nation is that it takes 7-10 days to get the product after you order. JMO, and BTW im running 10k highs, lows, and fogs. if you set the housings at the right height you will be able to get exceptional lighting and not blind people going down the road.

Silverstars run a pretty nice white, it will be a regular bulb but shouldn't look "yellow"

Might look better with the blue

X2 it's going to be really hard if not impossible to find just a bulb to match well with hid fogs. I'd recommend hid's for the low beams just aim them correctly and you shouldn't blind people.

i can't put HIDs in my low beams because they're my DRLs so with the lower power when the headlights aren't turned on, it'll burn out the HIDs
