headlights; not 100/80 etc

i have searched under 'headlights' 'blue headlights' 'aftermarket headlights' and several other similar subjects. i am wondering who makes the best bulbs that:

...ARE NOT ANY HIGHER THAN STOCK WATTAGE; i got 100/80w bulbs and a harness upgrade and they bulbs still burnt my harnesses, so i'm just gonna go back to stock wattage...

...have a bluish/purplish tint to them; i just want the bluest looking stock wattage bulbs. any info/pics/comparisons please. thanks

From one newbie to another.....Search engine!

There gonna tell you to use the search engine for questions like that. So my advice is go ahead and use the search engine. My hints are stay away from any blue bulbs if you plan on trying to see at night(escpecially in the rain)

headlights burning

I installed the upgraded wireharness along with the A.P.C. Xenon bulbs, 100/80 watts, and have no problems with it. I've had then well over 5 months and everything is normal

b4 I did the headlight conversion, I had Xenon OPTI BLUE bulbs. The box says "real 4200k and color temperature" on it. the wattage is 100/80, but I had stock wiring and never had a problem. The look of the bulbs when on is great, but like smooth said, the lighting kinda sucks. Hope this helps...

I've used PIAA platinum series super whites, they had a bit of blue hue to them, but were very white. They come in 80/100, and also 55 watts
