You want the HID look right? You know that doing this will actually decrease the light output compared to conventional "yellow-like" bulbs.

Anyways, I recommend NOKYA.

I persoanlly don't use it, but a friend of mine has it and does it look like he has HIDs. He just has the look...not the function part of it.

Tinted bulbs are a waste of money...but its your money.

They don't exist, I can spot blue ricer bulbs from a mile away. Halogen bulbs just can't look like HID (well maybe the 6K and higher HID, but not OEM 4300K).

I assume you meant that for the original author of the thread?

Just go to ebay and type in "hid 9006" and see what comes up. You'll have pages of options...

Sylvania makes a superwhite - not quite HID but a good superwhite - look for it at PepBoys.

Guaranteed not melt your **** unless you put it up your ***!!

That is only a color rating so the answer is yes!

safe for the housing but the stock headlight wires are not made to withstand higher wattage bulbs.....

sylvania cool blues are inexpensive. *9005* cough *conversion* cough.

truth is, nothing can ever touch the light output of 4300k (speaking of man made car lighting).

The blue ricer bulbs aren't intense enough to look like HID. Even when compared to 6000k and up.

Compare two cars, one with HID (6000k, 7000k etc.), and one with blue bulbs. Have them both drive down the street coming towards you and I gurantee you they won't look the same. HID is just too intense of a color. Higher kelvin rating or not.

Granted it's a blue/purple light that's being outputted, it's an intense blue or purple at that. Halogen tinted bulbs are dull and retarded. The ones that may look even remotely close, are the very high wattage ones that will end up burning out the next week or so anyways.

OEM HID's don't put at blue light...

OEM HID's put at white light, however the projector if not looked at dead on goes through the color spectrum which is why most people see blue/purple. The output is white, remember that.
