Blue reduces light output and increases glare. Please stay away from blue headlights. You only look like a ricer with them, and people will point and laugh at you.

Something like Osram Night Breaker bulbs would be good. I'm pretty sure they don't have any blue color in them, but they're definitely brighter than stock, without drawing any additional current, so no worries about melting wiring or the headlight switch.

ok so ive looked for the Osram Night Breaker 9005 for my high beam and the 9006 for my lows and i cant find ****....what gives? do they only make them in the h series or what
Forget the Night Breakers, you want 9011 and 9012 HIR bulbs. (Though, I don't see the reason to upgrade the highbeams, but it your car, money, and choice.)
to the OP, there is another thread like two away from this addressing H4 bulbs.
to the dude looking into the 9005/6 fitments...i can vouch for the HIR bulbs. i have them in my fogs and highs on my Mazda and they do put out a ton of light. the light emitted doesn't look cool, but it's alot of light and that is what you want. IMO the best source for these is rallylights.com
bash if you want, but i run hella high performance bulbs (they call them xenon blue) in my wife's Si (9005/6 fitments) and they offer fantastic light, and look cool as well as the light is pure white (not blue at all). the only bummer is when the lights are off, there is a slightly blue reflection in the reflector. i run the DOT wattage units in her car.
vs. HIR, these are a deal as an HIR bulb is about 30 ea, where as the hellas are a little more than that for a pair.
