I've experimented a little with these blue bulbs on other vehicles in the past.
The fact remains that halogens put out most of their energy in the yellow and red parts of the spectrum. The blue coating merely removes these parts, leaving you with - almost nothing! Sure, the human eye perceives them as looking whiter, but they don't put enough light on the road. They sure scatter though - often into other driver's faces. At a measly 55W power draw, I would consider them dangerous to install. Heck, I found the 85W blue bulbs too dangerous as important areas of the road were not being illuminated. Plus, my wiring harness was slowly getting cooked. :lol:
Be careful!
XenonExpert sells the real thing - powerful performance to match the looks. I just installed the 4300K HIDs, and I truly believe I'm getting over 200% more light onto the road. Contrast that with the 50% reduction you get with 55W blue bulbs. If you're not going the HID route, I strongly urge you to stick to the stock halogens. Your safety should be more important than the looks of those obviously fake blue bulbs.
Cheers
