Anyone with spare Philips "Blue Vision" W5Ws sitting around?

I can recommend lamp replacements bought from www.powerbulbs.com They have reasonable prices, don't charge sales tax, prices include shipping, and they deliver in 10-14 days from England. What is also nice is that they throw in a pair of those Philips "Blue Vision" W5W wedge bulbs for FREE with headlamp purchases. To whit...

If anyone has a pair of those "Blue Visions" sitting around unused, I sure would like to have them. I can offer a trade of PIAA 19172 Xtreme White wedge bulbs, that are great to complement HID low beams, but don't match well with Halogen lamps. (They give a blueish cast, like HIDs.)

So, if you have HIDs and experimented with the Blue Visions and found them wanting, I can swap you for the PIAAs that will look much better. Reply here or PM me, please.

Doggone, I had 4 extra pairs and just gave the last away on the various MB boards. They work pretty well in terms of getting rid of the annoying yellowish/copper stock bulbs.

Drat, just my luck. Always last in line on this stuff. Thanks, anyway.

Just call me the "stealth modder." I've been at it for years.

These "Blue Visions" usually come as giveaways from Europe, and as noted on this thread, several members just pass them around. So at best I was hoping to swap the PIAAs (I paid $17), as I don't need them and could use the Blue Visions. If I wanted to pay for them, I would go through the hassle of a small order ($12) at Powerbulbs.com to guarantee I got a new set
