for a more bluish tint you want a bulb with a higher kelvin temperature. stock is 4300K. you might want 6000K. do a search on the forum for pictures.

there are a ton of people selling aftermarket highger K xenons online - I don't remember who I bought mine from, but I got a set of 6000K Philips Ultinons for a couple hundred bucks I think. MTechnik had a thread with pics of his 8800Ks if you want to search for it.

do you have the VESTEC- Xenon D2S (Made in Japan) HID Xenon 8000K- Pair .. if so i found them on suvlights.com for 260.00 USD for the pair..

the Phillips 6000k are for 140.00 USD each bulb so the 8000k seem to be a better price, so my question is which one looks better?
