Default best 9005 bulb? brightness

which brands are good 9005 bulbs that are 65watts? i just bought some for ebay and they it was called xeon made in korea. i use to use the stock 9005 bulb but i want a bluish tint. the 9005s that GE lighting makes are pretter good but doesn't have that bluish look. I want them for under $30 a pair, anyone got suggestions? don't leave a post telling me to get HIDs or silverstars, cuz thats not the answers i'm looking for

Perhaps the Sylvania "Cool Blues" are what you're looking for. Same Sylvania quality, but with Fake HID flair...

I ran 9005 Cool Blues for over 1.5 years w/o problems. Great deal for $15-$20 for a pair.

And pretty much all 9005 bulbs are actually 60W, and 9006 are actually 51W. The 55/65 thing is more of a "nominal" wattage I guess.

pointless, spend another 100 or so get real HID. Why do you want blue anyway? Do you like not being able to see the road at night? Blue lights are
