Blue highlights??

Ok...I am a TL noob...but the mod bug is setting in!!! As a huge Colts fan (born and raised in Indy....transplant to FL) I was thinking that with my 05 WDP...some colts blue highlights would be sick. Not too much mind you...but just a touch.
Planning on painting the ACURA on my front bumper, brake calipers (found a kit from duplicolor), and my back A badge. I contemplated doing the front....but it might look like tooooo much with the ACURA below it.
Any other suggestions?? I have found all the DIY's in the garage...wow what a trove of info.
Thanks in advance for suggestions and to all the flames I'm gonna get for being a Colts fan!

Here is a color chart for the HIDs.



Just be aware, the higher you go in K the less visibility you have but the brighter the color.

Yeah....not planning on messing with the HID's,,,,,,yet!
Might replace the fog lights with a bluish tint bulb....and I am seriously contemplating doing the "Audi"ish LED strip in the headlight assy with blue ones...not sure if it will be legal though?? I'll bet it would look sick though!!

I have started poking around the engine bay....I see some stuff that is going to be blue by the end of the weekend! Pics to come!!

The higher you get in Kelvin, the hotter the core of the bulb is. When it gets higher, it changes colors. When you have a white light, you can see a lot of things no? When you have a blue or green light, you cannot see as much as you can with the white light.

You might not want some people to see those things though.

Ok am I missing something because the OP stated blue Highlights not headlights so this leads me to believe he is talking about some type of graphics on the car...
Which IMO be very careful on this because you can easily slip into the rice category when putting stickers and overlays (other than the black vinyl roof) on a TL

ohh and GO GIANTS....well next year

I think he wants to do 8000k or 10000k bulbs and then to help the blue flow better, he also wants to paint the ACURA in the front bumper a matching blue

Here are my 8000k HID's...
