They're brighter, the blue content makes the light scatter more, and studies have shown that the purplish color affects night vision more than the more yellow light from ordinary halogens. (And yes, I can tell the difference between blue-coated bulbs and HIDs.) -- David Brodbeck, N8SRE '82 VW Diesel Westfalia '94 Honda Civic Si -- For Sale '86 Volvo 240DL wagon
