High beam bulb question...
Is there any high beam bulb that shows normal color but is super bright....

I have the ones that show blue and am not too keen about them as the cops can be asses if you get caught with them on..

higher wattage bulbs is brighter. you could always retrofit an HID bulb into it, but they have a warm-up period.

but ... how come you have posted this in ramblings?

PIAA platiums, are street legal. These are not blue & don't look blue like the above pic, but are brighter then stock bulbs. These are what I have.

Fuzzy, where did you get the platinums? I have the PIAA extreme white plus and they aren't really that much brighter than stock.

I switched my high beams to SilverStars. They are more white then the stock... I've been using them in my Jeep for years.
