Blue lights for my car?

Do they sell any aftermarket blue headlights? Like the ones on the new benz or the beemers? Ive seen the halogens on these cars and wonder what it would look like on the rex

you mean HIDs?

they're not blue unless you get 6000K up HIDs

i'm sure they'd look fine.

i saw a set on an AE86 on the hwy going the other way and the light output was good.

in any case, look to spend 400ish USD for a set.

Another thing...
$400 ?!?!?! Ouch!!
For $400 I could do some damn good things to your car, rather than installing some "cool" lights.

Rims? Exhaust? Intake? Suspension? Brakes? Stereo? Freshen up old components?

$400 is actually an amazingly cheap HID conversion... I doubt you'd be able to do true HIDs that cheaply... maybe $1400.... Seriously, they're retardedly expensive.
A much better idea is H4s or (if you do all your driving in town anyways and just care about the look) are the cheap walmart blue lights, they're about $10.

blue lights = gay, lots of tickets, and LESS light then white ones...

you can buy crappy blue lights from any rice shop... or you can buy H4 bulbs / lens for under $80 or so with bulbs of your choice.

real HID is over $600. but as above the blue ones give off less light then the white ones.

ebay is a good place for blue headlights. A quick search will give you many results. You'll need the housings and lights. $50-60 dollars will get you the housings and bulbs shipped.
