be worth it to check out.<<<

I'll tell you a story of my "colored bulb" escapades. There is a website
with an article about Blue Bulbs or any other color. You can't see as well
with these bulbs and it will suck when it rains because colored light
scatters more in rain. I (of course) didn't believe this guy and bought a
conversion kit so I could run Blue Ion H4 bulbs. I bought it from autooptiks
and am sending them back as we speak. Not only did they fit poorly, but
they were about as bright as holding a flashlight in front of my truck.
Worthless. The reason you see the blue from the Mercedes and stuff is
becasue they have the HID lights, which use Xenon gas to produce an
extremely bright, white light. It may look blue from the correct angle, but if
you have the misfortune of having those lights in your mirror, they are
very white. Take it from me, the blue or any other color other than White
or Yellow are not worth the green you'll spend on em', and may get you
a ticket. They looked cool as hell when I had em', but I couldn't see well
enough to justify keeping them, and I'm not the kind of person who sends
stuff back... just another tip from your uncle mike =)
