Not sure. I purchased some on ebay called "Plasma lights". I am not sure if they are the same. They claimed to be "cool blue" though. I would keep an eye on the sockets though.

To be honest, I am not sure. Just be sure to keep an eye on the sockets. Check every month or so if you use your headlights often. Mine got hot enough that the bulb fused to the socket.
