How do I get that really blue headlight look on my 99 Accord Coupe?

Question

I was curious if I could just install new bulbs (halogen?) to get the bright blue colored effect. Or do i need to install new headlights all together. Thanks!

Answer 1

There are two ways:

1) Upgrade to HID - you can get kits to do this. It requires modification to the vehicle, can be expensive and it usually illegal to use on road. The only legal way (usually) is to have this system fitted when the vehicle is manufactured or through a main dealer. The reason is that HID can be fatal if installed incorrectly or touched in the event of a collision. For these reasons many people choose to not go down this route.

2) Upgrade the headlight bulbs. It won't deliver the same effect as HID but will be cheaper, easier, legal and safer. If you want the blue effect then you could try something like Philips Blue Vision. If you're looking for all round performance then Philips' X-Treme Power is good, or Osram's Night Breaker (Osram are Sylvania's Euro equivalent).

There are many online retailers that sell upgrade headlight bulbs - PowerBulbs (http://www.powerbulbs.com) is one and they don't charge for shipping either, but there are others too. Avoid the junk on eBay - most of it promises the world and delivers nothing!
