There's no need for you to change the HID bulbs on your TSX. If you do a search there are plenty of posts telling you why it's a waste of money and why Audi, BMW, Saab all have different refractive HID's. If you want it to be bright and change colors on people I'd just say raise your Low beams to point in a little higher (but not too high) so the prism part hits about eye level. This will probably give you that blue / violet / white look you want.

The OEM bulbs have the right color temperature for the best lighting, and they are very durable. Save your money for something else.

Didn't know you could change the HID color...

They look blueish at an angle, not head-on, so I don't see why raising them would make the hue look better.

Yes, our bulbs are at the 4100Kelvin color range, but you can go to 5000, 6000, 8000, 12,000Kelvin, the higher it goes, the more blue-purpleish it becomes, but also with noticeably less lighting efficiency.
