I take it that you have HID? just change the HID bulbs to higher kelvin temp, 6000k (slightly more purple), 8000k (really blue) 10000k (completely pointless but crazy color)

does your headlight produce a blue/intense white light, or yellowish like typical halogen bulbs (color like fog lights)

according to the book

headlight (high beam) = hir1 halogen bulb
front position light = wedge base bulb
headlight (low beam) = d4s discharge bulb
fog light = hb4 halogen bulb

please remember that your high beams and fogs are NOT HID. so make sure you get blue halogen bulbs like Piaa or what not for the "blue" look.
