F-250 headlights

You see all the time trucks with the bright blue head lamps. I was wondering if anyone knew where you could find those and what they are called. I had the silverstars in my old truck but they werent the same blue that i wanted. Are they Led and do you have to replace the whole light essembly or can you just get the bulb?

Its most likey aftermarket HID bulbs. 6000k+ for the color temp.

They do many blue colored standard bulbs but these days they are almost as much as an HID kit from DDM tuning.

Blue bulbs are illegal, are irritating the eyes of other drivers, and produce less visible light output than standard color bulbs, especially in rain or fog. So many reasons to get them!

Yep, unfiltered white bulbs have the highest lumen output. Also, these lenses/reflectors aren't designed for HID bulbs, so while they may work well from your perspective, all the oncoming drivers will be blinded.

Not sure why everyone says this, I have never onced experienced this. Reguardless of what I am driving I also have a lowered car so I would be more in the line of fire compared to most people.

I also drive a Ford Fusion, and I really notice offensive headlights in it. Can't wait until I'm finished rebuilding my pickup and can sell the Fusion...
