Changing running lights and fog lights with blue bulbs?
I would like my running lights and fog lights to be blue-white like zenon. I read one guy put yellow film over his fog lamps to change the color, but I was wondering if the actual bulb can be replaced with a blue-white one? Anyone know the specs of these blubs? Can they just be replaced with different color bulbs?

Would the Silverstar's look most uniform with the HID's compared to the "Cool Blue"? Did you replace your DRL and Fog's with the Silverstar's?

The Sylvania Silverstar bulbs is an option but I am looking at others to find the right colors for me.
Take a look at some of the bulbs\LED's from this site.

If you guys have other sites to look at please post threads as well.
