    Default Replacing headlights

    Hello, I am looking to replace my trucks headlights, the front low-beam ones. It's a 06 Silverado 1500 and uses a 9006 bulb. I'm looking for those super bright lights that have the slight blue hue to them. Not looking to install the xenon bulbs, just plan on using regular, legal halogens. Here's two links:

    http://www.automotivelightingusa.com...oducts_id=1456

    If theres anything you would suggest, please post a link on where to buy them. My main concern is that they are a true white, with a slight blue hue to them.
    Thank you.

    Go to this link: http://www.hid-lights.com/gp2-9500k-sky-blue.html
    It is the GT Thunder 9500K HID conversion. Available in 9006. Its the white light w/ blue tint. The kit is available both in just a regular light and in hi/lo, but you wont ever need to use your high beams again,in my opinion.

    Thank you for the link, but I do not have that kind of money right now, and would rather just stick with the halogens. Between the links I gave you, which would you think perform better (brightest one).

    Oh ok, my apologies. Personally I've never heard of Luminics, so I would go with the name brand, however the Luminics brand puts out 5150k as opposed to the PIAA 4100k. Economically, go with the Luminics, but I'm not sure if they would last. Brightness (if they are reliable with their numbers) go with the Luminics. Quality and dependability I'd go with PIAA.

    With that other link I sent you, they are wonderful. I have a set of 10000k HIDs and I wouldn't trade them for anything. They light up everything!
