Headligh Bulbs

[shooter]

I've been reading all these threads but I really don't understand the difference between projectors, xenon, and HID. I have the lights that self level I believe. I don't really care what kind they are, all I want is the HB's and the fog's to match the blue color of the LB's. So I went downtown and bought these Hella bulbs. It said xenon blue color on the box and the bulbs looked blue so I bought them over the silverstars. I popped them in and the HB's are still yellow after I just dropped 40 bucks on bulbs.

I don't care about the functionability of the fogs, I just want them to be blue so they match. The HB's I care about them being bright, but I'll take the matching color over the visibility projection anyday.

Can someone please offer me some guidance on how this can be done? 02 4.4i

HID= high intensity discharge
Xenon bulbs are gas filled
projectors are lenses that 'project' the light onto the road while controlling glare.
(i'm sure more members will join in with better definitions)

if you have the factory xenon system getting some HID foglights with 4300k bulbs will match exactly (meaning you will also need ballasts for the kit too) as for the high beams, i don't think its worth putting an HID kit there, but you can if you want. You can just get some xenon-match bulbs but you might have bad results like the previous ones you purchased.
