Default Are "blue" headlights ricer?

Ok I bought some OE smoked headlights off of ebay. They look awesome. These are just like the factory ones, other than the smoked appearance. Came with the bulbs. Don't know what you call them, but they have that bluish tint to them. I guess you could call them immitation HID's or something, I don't know. Is this considered ricer on a stang?

I'd say no...Although, I'm not sure I like the look really. It isn't a big deal really though imo. If you really like HID, go for it! But, really if you have to ask you probably aren't that comfortable with them. In that case go buy normal bulbs lol!

HIDs are so freaking cheap, just go buy real ones if the bulbs you have now bother you

+1 to above

If I we all said they looked "rice", would you no longer think they are awesome and not run them? It should make absolutely ZERO difference what anyone else thinks about your car.

Mine have a slight blue tint to them. I have 6000k HID heads and fogs. I spent $168 shipped for dual beam headlights and single beam fogs from vvme.com.
