I bought some sylvania silverstar H13 bulbs, and they claim to be white and brighter (I just want them white, don't care about being brighter)

Well they are actually DIMMER and still have a yellow tint to them

Technically, they are "whiter" so I guess that's not false advertising.

I am wondering, what bulbs do I need to get clean natural white, without a yellow or blue tint?

I can't tell you how much I hate even my license plate lights having a noticeable blue or purple tint to them :\

what about HID/projector kits/housings?

I am absolutely new to all types of headlights...

Hyper White bulbs are about the closest you'll ever to get pure white, but no headlight either conventional or HID will give a perfect "clean sheet of white paper" light, all super white lights will always lean slightly towards the blue spectrum.

Getting into the reasons why and how the light spectrum breaks down would take up tons of room here, so the best you'll ever do is "close" but not 100% pure white light.

Here's a link to the Hyper White bulbs.....

Didn't we, the members, offer you information on "white" headlights in another thread?

If so, what was the ADVERTISED temperature color of the bulbs you purchased?

Appears like you didn't understand what was explained

Think it is 4300, mine are 5000, look like the ones on caddys. My fogs are 3000, golden.

here's what it looks like from the other side of the wind screen. With fogs and without.

Actually i think i remember that thread snoopy :p

The rating on these are 4100.

I havent seen them at night yet cause its really raining here but ill go out in a few and see how they are at night.

I found some on ebay with comparison pics and they are the white im looking for.

Gonna give those a shot

Ssfan: those look exactly like what i want. I guess ill shoot for 5000 and above??

If they are HID 5000 or below are white, I haven't seen or heard of a halogen that is really white.

See, like i said, i have no idea what im talking about :/

What type of bulbs would fit in the hhr as it is, without the conversion kit i see a lot
When searching ebay?

I stopped trying to get white light out of a halogen bulb two vehicles ago, I'm sure they have made better ones, but they still don't hold a candle to the HID's. I bought the conversion kit with the H/L adapter, which runs the DRL's too, paid 75.00, right here on the forum.

I agree.....I think you need to go to Xenon to go to true white @ about 4500+

All halogen light bulbs have a yellow tint to them, reguardless of what is advertised by any manufactor.
The closest you can get to pure white, is 5000k Hid, which is much better than the stock halogens.
I went with a 6000k, headlight[very slight blue tint], fog light setup, and I was amassed at the vast difference, from stock. I can see so much better and futher now, and the white painted stripes and reflectors on the roadway, seem to almost jump out at you now.
I checked the oncomning light from the SS, from another car, and it's very acceptable, and not blinding by any means.
I think well worth the money, and a lot better visablity. Just make sure you get a good quality setup[not a cheapy]. "Moon"
