Blue headlight

[kb0rrg]

I want the blue tinted headlight that the BMW's and the SAAB's have. I bought a set that said "laser blue" or somthing; but when I put one in and left the standard in the other side, I could not tell the difference. What experiance have some of you had and what is the Band Name of goodones. I drive an F-150 ford.

Those bright, blue headlights on expensive cars and some trucks are xenon short-arc lamps.

Replacement bulbs aren't going to get you that exact same effect. The ones I've seen looks like they use a filter of some sort. And it's not very good because unfiltered light bleeds out the edges.

If you have a newer F150 I think you can get those xenon headlamps. The F250HD/F350 definitely has this option.

They are spendy. I don't have the website bookmarked anymore but there was one describing how to convert some Honda cars. If I remember right the lights ran $150-$200 each.

Hmmm... that's why I didn't do it. HID Xenon conversions - $700+ You might as well stick with souped up filamint headlights.
