As far as I'm concerned there is only one good option for this and it costs from 250-600 to do it. There are other options but I don't like how they look. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ht+kit+halogen

you can always get a set of H4 housings and a H4 HID kit, the housing quality makes a big difference in the lighting spread though, you may have to try a housing or two before you find one that gives a nice clean cut.

And 12000K is too high in my opinion you are losing a lot of lumens.....as you go further from 4300K you lose visibilty.

4100k is the ONLY OEM HID color temperature. There are very strict DOT/ECE laws regarding headlamp color, making 6000k and up illegal. Installing an HID system in a car that did not come equipped with it from the factory is 100% illegal for on-road use in the United States, but so are a lot of other mods......but HIDs stand out at night and can draw unwanted attention.

...wow.

First off, 6-7k is blue, 10-12k is very, very purple.

You need special H4 bulb housings, and THEN an H4 kit will work. The housings are 40-50 dollars shipped on Ebay typically. "Mazda Crystal Headlights" or something along those lines.

You might want to do some more research, or, possibly, learn English, before continuing with this.

Why don't you grab a cellophane plastic instead, since you want your headlights colored to be blue. And yeah get the real HID's instead
