    I agree they like blind you and late at night its so hard to concentrate, but i would love to have a set they give an awesome light . There are aftermarket HID kits availible but they are pretty pricey

    Yep arctic blue is what you might be looking for (i've got them in my wagon, very good), gives a very nice light and does not blind people causing them to run over a nun that happens to be on the sidewalk.

    I have found those so called blue lights or artic lights dont work for me in the vee hell, but i think that is just becuase my actually headlights are old, faded, flaking and just shity. So im looking at getting new non genuine ones and see how that goes. The brighter globes have worked for me though in a differant car and they are like 30-40 bucks depending on where you go. One of the guys with the blue vl project who i forget right now changed his headlights and had a before and after pic and it looked so much better, freshend the whole front end up.

    new headlights make a HUGE difference in how much light comes out and the arctic blue globes make it a nice white colour

    xenon blue or arctic blue are a super bright white and not blinding they are also reasonably cheap,
    don't go the hid kit, they are to expensive and unreliable.

    i got the whitest ADR compliant globes repco had, they looked shit in my old headlights as they were faded and reflector was peeling but they work very well in the new headlights.

    here is a pic of the lights with just the LED parkers on:

    ok, any way i can tell if they are approved by ADR? will it say on the packaging or something?
