The "Cool Blue" sealed beams are just a little whiter than a regular
halogen bulb. In fact when you look at them, you hardly notice the
difference until you put them side by side with another vehicle with
regular halogen bulbs.
However, I really could tell the difference when I was driving the
Cherokee, and I didn't like 'em, but maybe it's just my old eyes.

I really like good lights, and have been running the high output
halogens in my Cherokee (and Champ pickup) for years. Recently one of
them went out so I took a good hard look at those Sylvania blue lights.
When you compare the output and power figures it looks like all they
are is regular halogen lamps with a blue tint and a higher price. I
passed and just bought a replacement lamp.

Has anyone had any problem with these things leaking? One of mine looks
like it has some moisture in it, but it still seems to work OK.
