They may appear blue to you, but they're actually white 4300k bulbs. Blue may appear by looking at the lights off-axis causing that cool flicker, or if you're near one, they always appear to have a slightly more blue tint. Helps that their fogs are bright yellow too.
If you want those 8000k bulbs, go for it. They look okay. You'll see more with 4300K, and lowering light output with 8000K bulbs just to look cooler seems to defeat the entire purpose of HIDs to me. |

This post will be worthless without pics. But you will get them! I was sick of the 5w 194 trunk bulb that looked more like the light level of a romantic evening than the light that should be helping me find my gym shorts in the dark. Anyway, I grabbed an 11 watt malibu light for the yard and tried it out. Plug and play, baby. And it's very bright now. I also painted the exterior of the bulb with a blue sharpie to offset some of the yellowy orangey incandencent color. It's superwhite and supercheap, just like I am!

Dont know if anyone has had this problem, but it took my dumbass an hour to figure it out. I bought some replacement 100W "HID" bulbs to replace my low beams. Well I struggled to get them in and could not get them to lock into place. So after an hour, I changed out the rubber ring off of the stock with the new ones. Wala, worked like a charm. They went right in and locked with no problem. So if anyone replaces the lights and cant get them turn, just swap the rubber o rings.
