Default (Headlights) What am i doing wrong?

I recently Purchased some Silverstar HD's from O Reilly..the blue bulbs.. (Reg. Drive Lights) they fit into place and it was a snap..but they didn't show blue...i was like wtf? They were stock but a lot brigther...but the package says HD BLUE...am i missing something?

Does it take a while for the effect to come out or wtf?

Default Silverstar Lights

Yes they do look blue on the package. But the Silverstars will only seem blue if you are in an oncoming vehicle. All they really do is brighten the headlights so that it looks clearer at night. But they do give off an whitish-blue color. I have them in my headlights and not in my Brights. But when you switch from regular to brights you can tell the difference in the lights. Hope this helps.

Get the Eurodezigns bulbs (on Ebay). Had them on my Camaro and just got some for my truck. They brighten up the road and put off a good blueish (hyper white) color.

Here is a thread from GM trucks on the topic

I've got the same lights from ebay. There no where near as bright as the stock, but the color looks good and they've lasted over a year

If you really want to "blind the ****" out of people just get plug and play HID kits. There is a guy in Houston on Craigslist that does $200 HID'S plug and play. The time and money you waste on buying 30 diff bulbs can be saved. My suggesstion is 8000K HID's. Check out the Blue SS clone member's truck on this site.
