You are going to have less light output with any blue coated bulbs but I have had good luck with Halo bulbs in the past. You can order them from their website haloautomotive.com. They are kind of expensive though so you may just want to look into an HID kit for only a little bit more money.

non HID please im looking for some to fit in stock sockets

 

Why? They serve no purpose....

 

Oh, right...they're cool. :spin:

 

Seriously though, just to get enough useful light, you ought to spend an extra $50 and get some 12000K HID's or something.

the topic of this thread is contradictory.

 

there is no such thing. Headlights that are meant for the explicit purpose of looking "cool" have a name.. normally its "rice."

 

thus, most lights that have this appearance are "budget" lights, especially how cheap hid kits are these days.. so I'd be hard pressed to believe there is such a thing.

G mang T is all about the show and less about the go. I am sure that if you look into those shady Korean lights like Nokya, Polarg and Raybrig you will get what you want. Heck, some may even have writing which give them an authentic JDM style.

Basically, what I took away from this - and I would like word from one of our Forum's true lighting gurus, outahere, before anyone takes what I say here to be anything more than face value - is that any coating will decrease the absolute light output (however, having hotter-burn element may be able to bump the output back up, at the expense of bulb life), and that, short of aesthetics, the current "blue" bulbs, at least the ones that are good for actual road-use, do not really offer measurable benefit, as their makers would claim.

 

The only exception was the RPI/LRC article, in which it seems that peripheral vision is actually *enhanced* via "blue" bulbs.

 

You'll see in the follow-ups that I cited that outahere and I had fun with this one, too, and that he thinks that it may be part of the reason why, on the very highly rated Osram Night Breaker, there exists two "bands" of blue only, which may thus help that bulb project blue light in a defined pattern, while maintaining the overall light output via its "clear" bulb body.
