Purple xenon HID bulbs

Are there any good ones out there? I saw 2 prelude's earlier with nice purple headlights. I'm assuming they were fake and not real HID's. Are there any realistic purple bulbs out there that give off decent light (at least as good as stock)?

There is the 6000K HID kits that are purplish like the ones on this BMW. The right side is the 4300 K HID which are superwhite. The 6000K purplish one is actually dimmer then the 4300K superwhite.

I have purple Krypton bulbs in my LX.
The xenon blue bulbs are getting played out so I am going with the purlpe ones now.

In the rain they suck, but in normal driving conditions pretty bright.

HID one day :o

you can get the piaa headlights, any of those are really bright, especially the super plasma's i think, a friend has them and they are almost as bright as my catz are. but they cost about 75 bucks. Or you can just get some apc lights, 110 w low beam, and 90 w high beam, i had these before i got my conversion, and they're pretty bright.

Are Catz the brightest (even though they are exspensive) and do they come with a garuntee and where can I get those. If money was no object and I didt want an HID conversion (meaning I could spend up to around $70 on bulbs what should I get?

HID is the way to go. I went to HID and I can't go back. Best mod to get.

Yeah definitely go with HID...most of those bulbs may duplicate the look of HID, but the light output is not even close to the real thing...
