Default Blue headlights

Guys,
I was wanting to install bulbs that will look a blue as possible on my 09 stang. I have had sylvania cool blue bulbs in another car I used to own. Are there other brands that are more blue?

You can try Luminics but, the visibility is extremely poor with them. I'd go with HID's and just go with a higher temp... I have 8K and the blue/white is perfect. Realize tho the higher in temp. you go the less usable light you have..

There are a lot of standard bulbs out there plus HID's that are 6000K and higher. But beware. As So Cali stated above, the higher the temperature the less useable light. And it is especially noticeable in bad weather. I recently put a pair of Hoen 5000K bulbs in my SUV headlights and HAD to run my 2500K fogs in anything but dry conditions when dark. I've since returned them to stock. My point is that before you invest in HID's, find a pair of 7000 or 8000k bulbs on ebay and see what you think. If looking "cool" is more important than seeing where you're going, then go for it.
