Default headlights

alright guys, I'm sick of my wimpy yellow headlights! I want some blue or white in them! I think I'm going to wait a few months before I buy an HID kit, but for the time being, I just want to get some new bulbs! I know the Bulb size is H11, and I've been looking at Cool Blue from Sylvania...just wondering if theres anything else thats the least bit comparable!
thanks

I know...if I could I would. I dont think my dad would have a problem buying me a kit, but I want to work for it in the summer so I can actually do something haha. Bulbs are just temporary until like mid-june when I'll be installing a kit

My opinion is if you are planning on real HIDs later just wait until you have enough money for the HID kit. Forget the blue bulbs if you are installing them just for the looks. It will be obvious to everyone that they are just blue coated bulbs and not HIDs, which to many is worse than just the stock yellowish halogen bulbs to begin with.

dont buy regular blue halogens.. i had them for less then a week before i went HIDs. They give u the worst light output whatsoever.. during a regular night, you barely see anything.. during a rainy night.. your driving literally with no lights on.

You will drive in more dangerous conditions(light output is greatly reduced) and just save the money you would "waste" on blue headlights, especially if you are planning on getting an HID kit.
