Default Headlight bulbs

Hey guys, I tried out the sylvania's, and although they are brighter, they look pretty much the same as stock. What bulbs would be good that are blue, thanks. I was thinking PIAA, but they are expensive. Are the APC 9007 ones from the discount auto parts for 20 bucks good?

I would not recommend APC. Those thigs last a whole 3 months. The only blue bulbs I have had very good luck with is Eurolite. They last close to 3 years in both my Civic and in my SRT-4. I just replaced them with Silverstars. The place that carried them stopped selling them so I didn't feel like ordering bulbs. Those cost around $30.

Yeah, I wish I could get HID's. Even the 150 ebay ones are not within my reach. They are just too much, maybe when I save up. I spent 40 bucks on the 9007 sylvania's, the ones everyone has recommended, but so what, they look just like stock, albeit brighter. I want something blue, and they have the 9007 headlight bulbs in different variations of blue, purple, and white. I want blue, something that is similar to HID's with 8000-10000k intensity. Eurolites I will check them out. Any other suggestions?
I bought the sylvania's, think I can return them?
they were 40 bucks, i figure i can at least change them, but i want cash back honestly.

Went on ebay looking for "9007 blue bulbs" and found some for less than 45 bucks.

Now, the first one is a brand called MCR, the second is Luminics, the third is MTEC, and the fourth is Litech. Does anyone have any opinions on these? I know they aren't PIAA or Polarg, but they should make do. The firdt one, MCR, the headlights look cheap as fuck for some reason. Looks like if they were dipped in blue dye lol. The fourth brings 5 pairs, 20 bucks total with shipping! I was thinking that it might not be a bad deal lol. Then I also found KOBA, TEXON, and other nameless brands. Out of all these, please help me decide which is the least crappy.
I found eurolite here for less than 30 bucks:

Oh, and best of all. I found an HID kit for 140, and its O-NEX.

The BEST halogen bulb your ever going to get IMHO is the TRUE Osram Silverstars. I'm not talking about the dinky Sylvania stateside Silverstars you find here in the states. Those are just coated bulbs. REAL Silverstars in European areas are not coated at all. They are clear yet produce intense output. Much like all the labewls and gimmicks "claim" to do here but these actually do it, and not at the cost of coating a bulb blue ....

Do you have any output picture of those, I would like to see a night picture of those installed in someones car.

I know there is a website www.eurodezigns.com. The bulbs on there are $30 a set and you get a lifetime warranty on the bulbs. After that you pay $9.95 for shipping for new bulbs. I bought one set for the beetle, they last 6 months, haven't bothered with the warranty. But it seems like in the beetle bulbs go fast, prolly due to having daytime running lights. They even chew up regular bulbs like crazy.

oh snap, please post links on where to get them!!
I bought some 7000k halogen bulbs, which give off a light bluish hue. They told me though, that only HID's produce the blue color. Oh well. Im seriously liking those osram silverstars euro edition, they look sick.
