Default Dumb question

This is a dumb repetetive question but I seem to have troubles finding an answer.

1. I want to replace my silverstars with a lightbulb that will be intensly blue/purple and will stand out. I can't afford the HIDs unfortunately Can someone give me a name, model number and price for em??

2. My foglights, are really yellow and ugly. I believe a H3 size goes in there. Is there a way to get a blue or atleast white color bulb besides the OEM?

MTec sonic blues are intensely white, even a little blue, but not as bright as Silverstars (the bluer the bulb, the lower the brightness). You can find them on eBay for $48 (shipping included).

Silverstars=yellow? Hmmmmm....maybe clean the headlight cover by wetsand and rubbing compound.

Be careful with the type of bulb you choose....you dont want to fry your wires/socket.

Another alternative is the tint your headlight covers light blue.

Good luck.

My headlights aren't yellow, my fogs are. I like the silverstars a lot but i want something more. A CL member recommended that i get HIR bulbs. Anyone ever put these in? Toshiba i believe. http://hirheadlights.com/index.htm

It'd be like 50$$ for those or so. Let me know if you guys had better luck with other ones..
