Headlight bulbs
I was wondering what brand of headlight bulbs I can get for my Civic that are blue. I went to autozone and asked and ended up geting the brand cool blue...and they are not blue :/ So if any of you actually know a brand that I can get that will actually be blue please let me know

Get some normal bulbs that will improve your viewing distance while driving. With blue, you'll be able to see about 4 feet in front of your car. And you'll look like a ricer.

Thanks So... even if it doesn't say blue on it if it's 5000k-6000k then that means it's blue? Sorry I'm bad at this lol.

If i had to run any type of blue bulb it would be the Luminics ones, Theyre called "pure blue" You cant see Sh*t with them but the color is nice,
Ive owned alot of bulbs, Its kind of an obsession,
GE nighthawks
Luminics
Sylvania
"cool blue"
Currently: Philips Xtreme, Best ever.. None of these bulbs even went bad, I just buy headlight bulbs alot. Idk.

I had Sylvania "Cool Blue" bulbs and they looked nice and all, but visibility sucked. I then got Sylvania Silverstars and the visibility is much better. Functionality>looks.

"Informal tests by the US Department of Transportation's Office of Crash Avoidance Standards found that a standard-wattage 9004-type blue headlamp bulb reduced the road lighting ability of a standard headlamp by 67%, and increased glare for oncoming and preceeding traffic by 33%. This apparent contradiction arises because of the way the human eye handles light of different colors. The short-wavelength colors (blue, indigo and violet) are very difficult for our eyes to process and focus on."
