Woops, sorry Sledge. I assumed that pigment would be the same as light, but seeing as how we did the expirement too, and I just plain out forget that we did it, I should have known that. I mean, after the whole battle if light is a wave or a particle, you shouldn't assume that "apples will always be apples" when it comes to light, or color for that matter. I guess what my friend says is true. "Assumption is the mother of all f-ups"

gonavy: You're right about green being the brightest color now that I think about it. For some reason that doesn't make sense to me either, my 8th grade science prof said that. Thats why fire engines are sometimes a funky shade of green. Traditionally they were red, but I've seen some here in Los Angeles (from certain cities) that they're a shade of green (a sorta pale one). Problem is since we're ALL accustomed to seeing them as red its hard to immediately think, "big, green, oh, its a fire truck", so they're hesitant to paint more of them a greenish color is my guess.

So anyway, I've come to realize now because I've actually thought about what I know about light and read about it, that I want my light to be a little BLUER than what the HCH has now. I don't want it to be a TINTED glass blue, I want it to be BLUE because its of a higher temp than the halogens they have now. Slyvania has cool blues but I think I want them to be bluer than that, slightly more.

Will Silverstars be better ???? Are they more "blue" ???? I just read that for the North American arm of Osram (Sylvania) they have a higher color temp, so they should be. They are MORE bright than cool blues, and they have a shorter life. So now I'm confused. Here is what I want:

I want the light to be bluer than now. They don't have to be SUPER blue like the tinted fake ones are, just a touch of blue when you look at them. I want them to be BRIGHTER than they are now. I don't care about changing them more often. Once, even twice a year is fine with me. They're not that expensive. So what brand/combination light does ANYONE recommend ???? I would also probably purchase the OSRAM European version of bulbs since they seem to be brighter and last longer, but I shall research this now after I post this to double check.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT NUMBER BULB DOES THE HCH II USE ???? 9007, 9004, what ????!!!! I want to tear my hair out since I can't find the info....
