Default My sylvania silverstar low beam...

Hey guys, i need ur opinion. I recently bought a sylvania silverstar for my low beam, cuz i was hoping that it'll look more like an HID. So i bought it.
When looking at the headlights from outside of the car, it does look white and close to HID bulbs, but when i sit inside and look at its lumenation, its a bit yellowish. I was hoping it would be pure white. So i made this thought that maybe if i bought the sylvania cool blue instead, it would look whiter. What do u guys think?
Also, does the cool blue look like HID's also? or silverstar looks closer to HID? I can still return the silverstar though cuz i just bought it today.

As stated above....nothing but HID is HID

however.. are you more concerned about LOOKING like you have HID?
or just usable light which HID produces?

I have horrible vision...hence my HID retrofit on my Si

I didn't put it on to .... Look mad tiiiiiiite
