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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
