Headlight Bulb Choice

Before I'm flamed, I did use the search button and did NOT find what I was looking for. I have sylvania cool blue headlight bulbs in the car currently, I like them. They are a lot brighter than the stock bulbs, but I want some bulbs with color that almost look like HIDs. I know that luminics and nokya both sell 9007 bulbs that offer this; however, I'm torn on which color to buy. I'm interested in purple/violet, blue, yellow, and bright white (essentially what I have now only brighter). To help me make up my mind will you guys please post pics of these colored bulbs on your cars and also give me any feedback or opinion. Thanks a lot guys!

colored bulbs will always be dimmer then non-colored bulbs. my look brighter but the light wont go as far. now i would either get Hid's or stay with the bulbs you have now.

that last part was really unecessary lol. i'd go hids. i forgot the vender but you can get halo gen 3 projectors with hids for $310. and he can change the halo to any color you want.

Yeah HID's are the way to go. I got my headlights and fogs from ebay. The dual beam headlights were about $120 and the fogs were like $70 (Bought fogs much later) I had the HID headlights on my 01 Cavalier and then when I bought the Cobalt, put them in as soon as I got it home. But yes, HID's ARE the way to go.
Here's what I have for my headlights. You're actually getting a great deal. I paid $40 MORE then this. This is the same kit I have in my car. Bulbs are GREAT!
