Headlight bulb question
I purchased my car a little while ago and the previous owner apparently installed some cool blue bulbs. Im not sure what kind they were, and to be honest its too late to check because they burnt out and I threw them out. I ended up purchashing regular bulbs because although the blue bulbs looked niced, they had terrible range and were useless in the rain and snow. Oh, and lets not forget about the brightes, they were basically useless.
I was wondering if there are any bluish bulbs that have a similar range as stock bulbs and actually last as long as stock bulbs. It seems that they all burn out in a few months, and thats just a waste of money. Please include the price of the bulbs, thanks!

For good light ouput, with the stock 9004 housing, get Sylvania Xtravisions, sold as 9004XV at Pepboys - 10 bucks a bulb.

Is it posssible to buy these kind of "blue" lights?
P.S. I hate every car that has HID kits, they are superflously bright and blind oncoming traffic.

There was another good link I have it somewhere, that actually compared the brightness of the greatly apraised PIAA bulbs vs standard oem replacements and it turned out oem's were 15% bighter and 80% cheaper.
