Re: blue headlights?

["DRoxburgh" <DRoxburgh@email.msn.com>]

Guys you've missed the point. In Europe, big A's have the new style
projector bulbs with give off a very bluish light compared to the dim orange
glow from normal headlamps. These are a different type of bulb - not
halogen? - and that was what I wanted to know about, i.e. could they be
fitted behind stock lenses to improve the lighting over and above the use of
sheer wattage - PP take note! I'm not into flashing blue lights, just want
to be able to see better.... yes I've had my eyes checked...
