Installed Hyper White Parking Lights....

Installed Hyper White Parking Lights, but for some reason they are blue. I ordered the 10.00 ones from autodynamics.com. Supposedly they were supposed to be hyper white, but at night they are blue looking, and definitely do not match my sylvania coolblue head lights. Anyone have suggestions on a good combo that look alike?

In my opinion, the whole "sylvania" series of headlights is a waste of money. They may eliminate the "stock yellow" look in your headlights, but they aren't the hyperwhite at all. Hyperwhite usu. refers to xenon/krypton headlights, they take a few minutes to warm up before they can look white, at first they look blue, purple, green, or whatever color surrounds the bulb when you buy them.

You bought the generic ones right? Should've gotten the Polarg.
The only good hyperwhite generic bulb is 194.

yea the sylvania "cool blue" definitely is not hyper white. The parking bulbs u got probaby are. You would have to get real hyper white bulbs like PIAA, Nokya, Hyper, or OptiBlue to match the parking light. I have PIAA xtremeWhite parking lights and Optiblue H4s - they match pretty well but not peeerfect. When I had Nokya arcticWhite H4's and the PIAA xtremeWhite Parking lights - they matched PERFECTLY.

Be careful with thos Optiblues you guys are buying. They're 80/100W bulbs. Unless you guys get the upgraded wiring harnesses, you'll probably be burning them up. And for just a few bucks more, you can get the MTEC H4s on eBay from mtecpower. They're very nice bulbs and they're only like $30. Great thing about them is that they've got a lifetime warranty. Return the bulb and you'll get a new one, no questions asked. Can't go wrong. Best thing is that they're 55/60W and emulate 110/130W. Check em out.

I've been running high wattage (90/100W) bulbs for the last 6 months and no harm has come to my wiring harness or my elecrtical system. I had NOKYA arctic purples, and now I have Eurolite Xenon Crystal (I have been running them for the past couple of months, and I am really happy with them, They are at least as bright as my PIAA Xtreme whites were, and about the same colour too.
