I have Nokya H4's "cool blue" im upgrading to hids soon enough though, so if you want these i guess you can have them?

the color is a very natural white, and they look very blue during the day







you can see the blue tint it adds to the headlights more cleary in this one..

No modification was required, will eventually go HID but until then check these.

night pic, sorry for crappy resolution. need to take some more.

that looks really good. how much did that cost you? not bad...love the pics guys

They were very inexpensive, I think around $15 per bulb. I don't exactly remember. They were definately under $20 dollars each.
