Sylvania makes the 'cool blue' lights in sealed beam. I have them on my camaro & will eventually put them in my bird. Much better light at night than standard halogen.

The 'cool blues' are available at most all major chain part stores, I believe they are $12-14 for 4 light systems & $14-16 for 2 lamp setups. They aren't quite as unique as HID, but they do have a slight 'blue' color to them and are a more pure white.
