Help me find H4 bulbs

I just got an H4 conversion kit for my 'bird, now I need to find some bulbs for them and my H3 foglights... I'm looking for the blue tint you know, like one HID's. I know nothing but true HIDs will look like HIDs, but I don't have the $$ to spend on HID's. I've tried:

Sylvania Silverstars
PIAA Superplasma GT-X's
Eurodezigns
Cheap ebay's

None of them really satisfy me none of them had any blue tint at all (Silverstars are the best and supposed to be WHITE, which they are). But I've seen other cars around here with some that look pretty good(but I can tell they are not real HIDs), so just share with me your experience and pictures of bulbs you guys got. Attached is a pic of what I'm looking for....

Make SURE you get that high wattage wiring harness. I've fried 3 factory harnesses with these.
They make the fog lights that mostly match, too.

Why do you want blue? A blue tint light is less bright than a white light. Unless you want the blue for that Ricce look.

Artic white by nokya.
Yea, that's mine. I had to take the nokyas out of the dims, burned up too many harnesses. lol Wasn't a big deal but my entire headlight assembley isn't stock, and I can only get the adapter harness from the manufacturer and they got tired of sending me new ones. lol Get that harness or something similar if you can.

Re: Help me find H4 bulbs

Well I decided to go with luminics because for 1. I already bought harnesses, 2. I don't wanna risk burning up harnesses, plus they dont have one for H3 and 3. I read reviews from other people that tried luminics and no one had anything bad to say...

Re: Help me find H4 bulbs

hey I have a camaro and a Cordoba and they both use h4656 as low beams and I installed the SILVERSTAR h4656st headlights on my cordoba and they look yellowish to me? whats up with that is it my wiring or is that how the sealed beams look? I dont know the wiring seems fine to me they just look slighty less yellow than stock an anyhelp I tried them on my camaro and it still doesnt look white my cars were off though so I dont know if it looks better with the car engine on. THEY are silverstars though I bought them from online and then I went to autozone to buy another pair to see if there was a difference and when plugged in the actual sealed beams look yellow...I WANT IT TO HAVE A WHITE A LOOK not just hte light output white...what about these phillips bluevision sealed beams any difference?
