I want some blue headlights, not that hyper white bs but blue like on beamers. i dont want to spend a fortune tho i jus want the look. i tryed all the headlights at like discounts and autozone but its all jus hyper white. i want some blue....Where could I buy something liek this and not spend a fortune?
 






If you want a system like the beamer you would have to spend alittle money. Those beamers have HID (high intensity discharge) lights. You can't just plug a bulb in. There are threads about this on the board. From what i've seen though be prepared to drop a couple hundred dollars for a HID system....

Good luck

Blue halogen systems are whole lot worse than the HID's on "Beamers". The reason being that halogen lights are coated with blue tint, which filters out a lot of light. Also, the HID's on BMW, Audi, etc... are white, not blue. If you really look into the center of the light, the light is white instead of blue. So if you're picking out bulbs, 4100K is the best color temperature for both halogen and HID's. Anything hotter than 4100k is a waste. If you don't believe me, wait til it rains...then you'll see a huge difference. The hotter the color temp, the harder for you to see because the blue light scatters everywhere instead of being concentrated with white and yellowish white colors.
 






Bro, try to find a Japanese import store. Piaa X-Force Series....they are a nice blue tint, yet not EXTREMELY blue, to the point that its dangerous to dirve on the road with. Dont get American Piaa bulbs, they suck. Get Piaas from Japan with Japanese writing all over the box. If you DO want to go bluer, I believe its called Piaa Plasma Series.
