I also have blue headlamps as in ebay link, but i went for the illegal (please dont tell Mr plod) 100w type, but since my reflectors are that bad, they help pass the MOT.

I had those cheap ebay bulbs in some new Projectors and I thought they were crap. I was always getting dazzled as they were just so dim and one of them blew after just 8months so swapped to Philips' and they are far superior but they are £25 a pair.
