Subject:        Xenon headlight bulbs... any opinions?

Anyone on the list have opinions about the new (to me, at least) Xenon
headling bulbs, such as the many being auctioned on eBay?  They're the bulbs
that you may have seen on other vehicles at night with the color of the
light being almost a blue cast when compared with traditional headlights.
(It's not a blue light, but appears to be blue tinted when compared with
traditional headlights that have a slight yellowing cast to them.)  Here's a
link to one of the vendors:

My son mentioned that he had heard that the amount of light they put out
might be illegal.
