Talking Which Healight Bulbs???

I'm probably gonna be buying some new headlight bulbs soon, I'm gonna have Christmas money to blow in a few weeks. I want to buy some that are bluish, but not dark blue ( i guess i want them to look like xenons sort of). which brand should i go with? i wanna be able to go into an auto store or tuner shop and pick them up, i dont wanna order anything online. i know apc sells bulbs, i had hyper whites on my maxima and they looked alright. should i go with piaa or apc, or another brand?

please leave me suggestions, prices, opinions, experience, other brands ect.



thanks to all of ya

are you putting these in stock headlights? if you are I have the Pure Blue's from automotivelightingusa.com (vendor here on the site) and I picked up a pair for 9007's for $40??? maybe??
They look great looking at the car, but light output suffers a little

id say the piaa or silverstarts (which i know isnt blue) but pretty much everything else will be crap, unless you can find a place with liiminics or the streetglow bulbs

I have used Titanium white, i liked em...they were super bright looking at the headlights, but once i tried the pure blue i changed my mind. But the blue headlights look better on a black car IMO. I have had em for a year or so now and never been pulled over for the blue headlights

i had the cool blue lights in my old escort, i liked them but when i got the cobalt i went with the streetglow bulbs. i got them from the shop my step-father works at for about $20. they're a noticeable blue, nothing that i've been pulled over for, and they're very bright.



i'd run out and take a pic of how they appear on the road but it's pretty nasty weather wise right now.

Had the cool blue Sylvanias and did not like them.. My stock bulbs were brighter than those. I got the Luminics Cool Blues and have been VERY pleased with them. IM thinking of switching to the Ultra Whites because i want to get the projector headlamps and the LED's are white.

If you are interested in the Pure Blues i'll be selling mine very soon.. I have the 9007's and the H11's. PM me if you're interested

Would you not need to upgrade the wiring harness? Is that 100W draw or 100W light output??

Its 100w output. They don't draw any more power than stock. They are NOTICABLY brigther than stock, not just a color difference. I have used them in many cars with a lot of happiness. They do burn out within about 2 years because of the higher output, but they do not damage the wiring harness since they still only draw 12v.
