If anything, you want to get a bright white tint, not blue.
Blue tinted light will give you poorer visibility on the road.

Check ebay for Philips Vision Plus bulbs - don\'t be tempted to go for cheaper unbranded bulbs as they don\'t always last as long, so you end up with dim headlights.

For sidelights, the Philips Bluevision will do. Ok they\'re blue but they don\'t give off any blue light when lit. Go figure

Personally I\'d steer cleer of gimmicks like:

[quote=\".\"]i got some xenon blue bulbs, give your lights a cool blue tint![/quote]

But it\'s NOT cool. That\'s the point. Get HID if you want colours in the headlamps.

It\'s not about being legal or not, why would you want a headlamp any other colour than white?

For some reason, all the idiot taxi drivers around here have blue bulbs. Not even white with a blue tint.. just blue. So f**k stupid - they\'re not getting any light on the road in front of them.
