Last I checked silverstars did have a blue tint.... I would go for xtravision bulbs. Actually I wouldn't spend a dime on the worthless DOT lights and save your pennies for ecodes.

The Silverstars in my car shine bright white. As for DOT headlights you are correct and I want to get them. Until then, I removed the yellow lenses on the foglights and use them all the time and get pretty good illumination.
