I got Streetglow ones in my car. I could sell u a pair of brand new 9006's. i bought them for my g/f but then she cheated on me.

ouch! sorry man.

Yeah, the Cool Blues are sorta white when you compare them up close to OEM lites, but if you back up---way up---you'll see blue! Still not brilliant blue, though. Last month I bought some APC blue foggies and wow... those puppies are brighter and bluer than my headlights! You can actually see the blue tint on my white garage door! More of what you're looking for it sounds like. Speed shops usually carry these. Prepare your wallet, they're expensive!
The Cool Blues use a filtering coating, while the APCs use an actual color tint. It's much more dramatic, but sorta annoying. :p

On a sidenote, removing the amber reflector in your headlight housing and replacing the signal bulbs with blue ones looks awesome with the other blue lights and will highlight your Cool Blues. That's what I did and I love it.

I was thinking of doing the same to my mystique.
Do you have any pics?

How did you take out the amber reflector? And is it legal to have blue turn signals?

i had those super white turn signals from apc and one burned out last night after about 2-3 weeks of use... so i dunno if id recommend them to anyone...... and blue blinkers are illegal, white and amber (orange) are legal

You can tear the housing open and rip the reflector out... carefully. The lights will still shine blue with the reflector in, so it's not really worth the trouble. Just taking the housing off the car is a pain in the @$$.

Kansas cops hate the blue lights, since they're illegal here, but Oklahoma popos don't seem to mind them. In fact I had an Oklahoma HiPo give me a thumbs up on my lights. Oklahoma... maybe illegal. Kansas... They won't bust you for them unless you're being a jerk or being suspicious. (That info comes from my grandfather and aunt, both Wichita Police officers) It's worth the risk, after all "I had no idea, officer!"

Bare with me on pix, I just got my computer and I'm still learning. Give me a week!

Since what you're looking for is purely an aesthic mod you can always take some bulbs and color with a blue marker...they'll be really blue then. :rolleyes:

Like mentioned before, got to a speed shop...they carry all those 'novelty' bulbs. Purple, green, blue, rainbow. Just please be careful at night because you'll be drastically cutting your vision with bulbs as blue as you're looking for. Thanks.

Agreed.
