Blue Bulbs - Advice please
After seeing the pictures of DJ Qube stook from the front, I am trying to decide what replacement bulbs to put in the side lights, the indicators and the full beams.
I like the idea of the blue, but have also seen silver bulbs as well?
Do not like the side lights and full beams being yellowish, when the HID's are so white.
Has anybody seen these in the shops? What sort of prices are they going for?

lol, Pete (PWE896) and I have just splashed out on some PIAA Platinum super white Xenon main beam upgrades, they are suposed to be the closest colour match to HIDs and offer a brighter light (100W equivalent) to boot 
Indicators are a bit tougher, following the advice of the Aussie guys I'm going to give my amber bulbs a very light coat of silver paint (supposed not to really affect the bulbs brightness) to get rid of the amber colour out of the front lights.
I've seen blue side light bulbs made by Philips but don't know if they offer them in the UK in the right type of fitment...

We've ordered ours through Demon Tweeks , you can check them out on the PIAA website . Hopefully they'll be in the car by Wednesday so I'll have some end-user feedback...not looking forward to trying to get them into the housings though

Depends on what bulbs you put in. The uprated Phillips bulbs I'm running now are 55w like stock, but are more efficient. So it's just a case of changing the bulbs.
