The only problem is, is that using something that is getting headlights that shine bluer on blacktop is like someone else said, using a blacklight for seeing in the dark.

No unless you go HID which is a waste of money, IMO.

I think those might be what I already have in there. Do you know what brand you were talking about?

Silver Star owns, why go blue when you can't even see the blue when you are driving?
that's called Ricer type-R

I'm not crazy about blue headlights on other cars; I find them very distracting. My stock lights are more then adequate, and the high beams are incredible. In many cases, on older cars just replacing the old bulbs with anything makes a huge difference in visibility because of how they get dimmer with age.

Does anyone ever get ticketed for the blue ones? I'm not sure how local laws are everywhere, but in Tx. it is illegal to have a blue or red light on the front of a vehicle. Do cops ever hassle you guys over this, or ignore?

I believe you are talking about ALMS(American Le Mans series) if not, ignore this
but they have yellow lights to distince the two class that race at the same time(white is Prototypes 1and 2, then yellow is GT GTS?
im sure it helps in the rain, but thats the reason behind the color
