Default 2000 RX300 Headlights

Originally, I was going to replace my 2000 RX headlights with the 01-03 model headlights, but instead I think I am going to change the lowbeam bulbs. I am wanting a whitish/blue/purple color to project out of my lowbeams at nighttime like all of the new luxury cars have, without having to buy brand new headlights. Does anyone know what wattage of bulb I need to get that color or where I can purchase them? Thank you!!

I change the original bulb to Sylvania Silverstar 9006 65watt bulb. It's brighter and whiter than the original bulb. But it won't look as good as real HID.

I got mine from Ebay for arond $30. Stay away from cheap light bulb that's above 65 Watts. They generate too much heat will melt the socket/wire.

If you don't want to stay halogen, Philips HID conversion kit for around $500. Read this link before you decide to buy those 6000K, 8000K and even 12000K bulbs
