Halogen filaments naturally produce a color of 2300K to 4000K (2300K is yellowish, 4000K is whitish) Anything bluer requires the use of light-dimming color filters.

Trying to emulate this color-flickering effect with a solid-state blue or purple bulb is only detrimental to lighting performance, it doesn't fool anyone, but most importantly it endangers other motorists around you. Blue light has what we call a very high diffuse density, which causes it to radiate outwards as opposed to forwards. What results is a wide glow of light outside the beam pattern that is blinding to motorists you share the road with. A blue HID bulb will produce color bleed around the headlight, around the objects it lights up, outside of the beam pattern, and around the cut off line.

Blue light also shifts the color hue of everything on the road to blue scale, which fatigues your eyes more than a standard halogen bulb, and it's brightness isn't that much of a marked improvement over a xenon-filled halogen bulb.

If you JUST want looks...PIAA Spark Blues are the closest to the look of 'true' HID projectors like out of bmw caddy etc. They are 7500k temp color and are not sold in the U.S. Some people say they don't light the road up as well as the Xtreme Force or the Xtreme White...which are the next closest to real HID.

I'm looking into getting some spark blues but they are $$$$ spineyes

"The PIAA Plasma Spark Blue H3 headlight bulbs is intended for off road and show purpose, NOT for street use."
