I'm looking for a pair of really blue-looking 9006 headlight bulbs (I have standard headlights in my '98 Accord). I had a pair in 2002, but they blew out within a year, and I followed up by buying a pair of Euro Dezigns bulbs. They blow out once a year, I get a new pair from the warranty, life goes on. However, although the ED bulbs look very nice, classy, and are bright white (not HID white or anything, they are just Xenon bulbs after all), I much preferred the blue look of the bulbs I had purchased back in '02 and am looking to find another pair. I don't care about the brand, and want the cost to remain less than $30 (including shipping if possible).

I've tried ebay-bulbs in the middle, and none of them seem to actually be blue (though they love to claim that, they always turn out to be white, usually shoddier than the EDezigns). Also, the Sylvania brand sold in stores as "Cool Blue" or whatever are NOT blue, they are actually much more dull than the EDezigns bulbs (though I suspect they might last longer). That part is just annoying because Sylvania is a MAJOR bulbs manufacturer and it sucks that they getting away with lying like that. Cool blue, my ***. Anyhow that's my bulb story and my question remains: can anyone point me to standard-headlight bulbs that cost less than $30 that are *ACTUALLY BLUE*?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Quick point - The EuroDezigns warranty charges $7 for a pair of replacement bulbs. Over the past few years, I have spent less than $60 on bulbs, and the number is only that high because I bought the stupid Sylvania bulbs because they claimed to be blue and were from a brand I (no longer) trust. Also, at the moment, I unfortunately can't afford to spend more than $30 on bulbs, and that number only works for REALLY blue bulbs. Based on my estimates of HID kits, etc. I can't afford those right now.

it sounds like you are asking an awful lot for the money. Any reason why you abosultely cannot spend over $30? you can probably find a cheap set on ebay or something, but expect to replace them in about a year. check some of the major online retailers like summit racing, or ask around in the lighting forum, i'm sure somebody there can point you in the right direction.

 

I'm not sure why it would be a lot, the pair I bought in '02 cost less than $30. I just want regular 9006 bulbs which are tinted to give the light a genuinely blue color. Can't imagine why that's so crazy...

FYI, if I can get genuine blue bulbs, I don't care if I have to replace them in a year - I'll probably have a little more flexibility in spending cash by then. Thanks for the recommendation though, I will post in the lighting forum.

 

Paint them?
