I say white because it is possible to get a whitish halogen. There is absolutely no halogen bulb on the market that will give you a 5000k or higher color, at all. So don't even think of blue or purple as an option until you get HIDs. Some halogens can give you a whiteish color but they are really high wattage and don't last very long. Do I really have to say anything more?

Did you buy three sets? And are these your pictures? That blue one isn't going to look like an HID just a white halogen. I guess they are really coating them with blue tint now, that's why it's not as bright.

Well that purple is going to look very similar to the blueish pair you have, it may have a light purple tint instead of blue. Don't expect anymore color than the set you have now.

why not just save another $30 and buy a REAL set of TRUE hids, instead of some imitator.
these are true! hids.

read this http://www.coolbulbs.com/HID_faq.asp

btw, if you were to put ur car next to a car with actual hids with the same "color" temp those bulbs say they are, they WILL look completely different, beacsue my bud bought one of those thinking he would have the same look as i did, well they looks totaly different
