Fancy-pants hyperwhite bulbs. Looking at them, you might think they'd shine blue, but it's such a thin layer of color, it just makes 'em not all yellowish like stock bulbs.

Yeah its just the reflection of the bulb because it is so close to the lens. If they bend down far enough, most people with aftermarket headlights have this in the headlight too.

I just noticed after this thread pointed it out that in a lot of sig pictures you can see this. I can in yours as well. Or is it just me?

It's not you, the bulbs are blue. I guess from the angle I took the pic they don't stand out as much but in others it does.
