If you really want bright blue headlights, then you should save up for HIDs

If you want the bluest H4 bulb. Check the Piaa Plasma Spark Blue 8000K!!! My friend bought these and the color they put out is awesome. (blue/purple/white) It's the best looking bulb I have seen. Not worth the price IMO though. Here's the link:Piaa Spark Blue

Bluest I've seen are the Nokya's, but they melted my wiring harness. I've already gone through a set of those, a set of Street Glow Hyper whites, and I just burned out my first set of M-Tech bulbs. This blows ...

Anyone else know what's a good bulb? I'm planning to invest in some heavy-duty wiring harnesses though, because my stock ones keep melting ...

I had Nokyas for about 6 months until they blew out on me.
I put the stock bulbs back on and damn! the difference it makes.
Nokyas just look nice when looking at the headlight housing; they suck for visibility.

You guys gotta realize that blue bulbs give you the worst output EVER

Now this fad has carried over to the HID market with people selling kits that are like 7500-12000K claiming them to be brighter than anything out there...

As long as you guys KNOW what you are buying and know that you are getting MUCH less output by going to blue halogen and blue HID, its your money :/

The blue/purple color you see is due to the refractive properties of the housing.

All OEM HID is 4100-4500K. If you look at the light output directly ahead, it is pure white.
