High beam bulbs...need some help please..
OK I currently have the 03 headlights and they are cleared w/ no diffuser inside them. The little wedge style bulb in the lower corner is not connected and for my turn signals i have silvania silverstar bulbs. The silvanias have a blueish casing but they actually light up amber.
I'm looking to replace my high beam bulbs w/ nicer bulbs but don't know what to get. I think the style is 9005 but if I'm wrong then please correct me. I want bulbs that have a nice blueish casing so the headlight assy will look blue...most members know what I mean. However I don't want a really blueish light emitted from them...just something that goes w/ the HID's. And last but not least...I don't want some no-name garbadge bulbs that are gonna blow in 2 months.
What do I buy..I was thinking of going w/ silvanias but I don't know what they look like in the housing, like I said...I want the housing to appear blue. Anyone got any pics..

I believe those are Opti-Blue or something like that
I have PIAA 9005, but they aren't as blue as those. http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...k=yes&dept=351

Check out www.powerbulbs.com
Look for the Phillips Blue Vision.
I've ordered tens of bulbs from this place, free shipping, very high quality bulbs, good prices.
EDIT: http://www.powerbulbs.com/products/p...=pbv&type=9005
~$45 a pair. The perfect blue you are looking for.

Lots of ATL & ACL members should be able to verify the bulbs as well.

There are lots of bulbs that'll give you the blueish effect but most of them aren't DOT/SAE approved. If you don't mind the cops hassling you, go for it. Otherwise, I recommend the PIAA extreme whites or the silverstars. I have the PIAAs. Although they don't come close to my HID headlights, they're legal. Plus, I don't use my highbeams that often, anyway.

I currently have no pics of the high beanms when on. ![Frown](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
However from what i remember they do match up to the stock HID's really well.
Here's some shots of Scooter's CL with the exact same high beam bulbs:
