not an hid guru... but i guess theres a few ways to get what you looking for..

1) get different projectors and retrofit it

or

2) maybe do a color mod on your projectors?

i think our projectors produces only white color and no blue what so ever :[

at 8000K you can't see much on the road, 5000K is true light color. 4300K is OE temp
I had on my Scion tC some blueish hue on the valeo projector and not because of higher temp bulbs. Check my quad hid retrofit for detail

Thank you, Littodevil is a very good at doing headlight retrofitting and he takes pride in his work, he is very expensive but worth every penny. In fact Littodevil is working on another retro for me for my RX, it will have S2k clear lens projector ( very hard or expensive to find now these days) and retain the AFS on my RX for low beam, while doing a high power LED
for DRL and highbeam.

I have 10000k HID's on my IS300 which give a tealish look. The 12's and 15's start to get you the purple and 30's get you the deep blue.
