Are you talking about making the actual light ray blue or are you talking about when the headlight is off and the bulb makes the headlight looks a bit blue?

- For normal halogen, I don't think you can get them to produce blue light. Unless, if they are really tinted blue.

- You could get blue parkers (leds) which will make your headlight looks a little bit blue when the headlight is on (ebay)

- If you get the normal halogen bulbs with the blue film over the bulb, the reflectors will make your headlight appear slightly blue when the lights is off. The film is there to make the light whiter. (Any autoshop, or ebay)

Philips Diamond Vision (5000k), most blue halogen bulb you can get to my knowledge. $145 RRP a pair, you won't be able to see anything at all with them on and the first cop that will see you will pull you up. They are mainly designed for show. Better alternative is the Philips Crystal Vision (4300K) at $99 RRP a pair but not as blue. Atleast cops won't hopefully hassel you and you will see a bit better. (They still aren't ADR approved nor do they give much light).

Problem with halogen bulbs is the higher the kelvin, the less distance and light output you get, anything over 4000K is a step backwards in distance and light output.

I had Crystal Visions for 2 years, now have HID's and i couldn't be happier.

You can get the diamond visions of ebay for about $89 PP i've had a look at the diamond vision seen them in one of my mates car couldn't warrant spending that amount on bulbs don't get me wrong they look amazing but i felt and im glad others had realised it but it didn't seem to be powerful as normal headlights as in the light died really quickly and didn't get to far on the road. Also i try to keep the po po off my back as much as possible this is just another reason for them to pull you over. If you still want them Autobarn near me sells then if theres one near you go have a look...

if you already have the HiD kit but with white bulbs then buy some 8000k bulbs from either this forum or ebay for cheaper then the price of the whole kit. (like $30 for two bulbs). but if you dont already have the HiD kit then your gna need to buy that too...ends up being about $220 in total.

waste of time,,,,, increases cop heat (gran theft auto style lol), and you cannot see in the night properly. I dont know about the expensive $99+ bulbs but the $50 and under are crap

All of the above are valid comments...however, I will add this...if you want your lights to be blue, go HID 8,000 kelvins and you will get this effect, 10,000 kelvins and it will be nearly entirely blue with a tinge of purple.

Phillips Blue Vision bulbs will give you the icey white effect but not blue as you desire.

Personally, I have 8,000 kelvin lights in my car and love them. Have not been pulled over by the cops once. Actually, 1 copper one time even said that my lights were really handy for dark roads. So there you have it. I think this topic is pretty much closed.

what i did was putting a H-Tec halogen bulb from ebay which is really good, not too blue and distance wise is fairly better than the Philip Crystal (had it in my prelude). And for the HID thing, i actually threw in a HID fog light since there are only rules for headlights and not fog light=p.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
