COOL BLUE HALOGEN SEALED BEAM?
 
A co-worker of mine recently purchased a new Chrysler 300, personally I'm
not that impressed with it but one thing I really like is the headlamps.
They seem to give off a whiter/brighter slightly bluish light.

Is there any way to replace my '89 XJ headlamps with something similar? I
looked at quadratec and found the Sylvania H6054 Cool Blue, will they give
me the same effect, or close to it?

I also did a google group search on blue halogens and a found a lot of
negative opinions but many of those threads were from '98, has anything
change since then.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well I'm in a really remote small town so I'm not to worried about that. So
I guess my main question is still open: will these lights give me the same
effect as my friends Chrysler 300 and if not are their any out there that
will.

Here is a good comparison of specs, watts, light output, etc., for Sylvania
headlights. I personally think the Cool Blue sealed beams are just a
gimmick. I much prefer the Xtra Vision or for the brightest, whitest light,
the Silverstars.

http://tinyurl.com/63e3n

I have the Silverstars and they are whiter, but the downside is the
relatively short bulb life. My first pair lasted only about one year.

We had the Cool Blue lights on my wife's '94 Cherokee. They really
don't appear that much different than a regular halogen sealed beam,
but I didn't like the light they put out at night. I couldn't seem to
see as well.
I leave for work at 5:45am and get home about 7pm, so most of the year
I drive at least half of each way in the dark. I've got a set of the
Xtra Visions on my '95 YJ, and I think they put out a lot more light.
Also the extended life is a plus.

I almost got these the last time, but the price difference put me off.
Are they really worth the extra money?

I'm on my second set of Silverstars. They are definitely whiter, but I'm not
sure they are much brighter when compared to the Xtra Vision. Depending on
how long this new set of Silverstars last, I may go with the Xtra Vision
next time. The Xtra Vision seems like it's a good balance between extra
bright and long life, when compared to a standard halogen.

Re: COOL BLUE HALOGEN SEALED BEAM?
 
You have to watch some of the 'blue' lights, they are not street legal
in lots of places.

In my opinion if you want to 'really' boost your headlight power, wire
them with a fused relay only using the stock wiring for the relay
trigger.

Doing this has made a 'radical' difference in my 86 CJ7 and also just
about doubled the output of a friend's TJ lights too.

My lights went almost as white as my Hella Black Magics! No more yellow
to white changes when turning on the big driving lights.

If you put a multimeter on the back of the headlight when it is on, you
likely will only see 12.0 volts or even lower like the TJ which had
11.8V or so. I don't know how come the TJ was crap, we suspect the
shitty computer's regulator but the older switches have high resistance
and eat power up.

A Halogen bulb only has 67% light output with 12.15V and 100% light with
13.5V.

http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...ys/relays.html

If you use a new 10 ga. fused wire from the battery or the first main
connection on the power distribution box to a relay then to the lights,
suddenly you will have 14+ volts or full alternator output!

The high and low beam sets each need their own relay.

Yeah, well, I think I'll stick with the Xtravisions, and replace my
ol' ladies regular halogens with 'em when the time comes.
By the time I add a set of fog lights on the bumper, I'll have that

Re: COOL BLUE HALOGEN SEALED BEAM?
 
I would suggest the StarBrite (?) line of lights that recently came out.
They cost more than the blue lights, but they are much whiter and briter
than previous versions of halogen lights. And, blue lights wreak of "rice
burner."
