the stock headlights that are "blue" are actually white with a very small blue-ish tint, they HIDs which are street legal. I'm pretty sure that you can not have any other lights other than white or amber. Don't risk it, put some stock bulbs in there or some Silverstars, if they are street legal HIDs, I would say just leave them in

I say every state laws are different . Look at the new rides out there they have blue headlights and they are stock . So just give them a try and see if you get pulled over or not they will just give you a warning anyways. I have had goldish/blueish hid like bulbs in my black housings for about a yr now and no problems with my cops here.

RE: blue colored bulbs?
Thank you for the info everyone. Some of your responses are pretty funny.
For now, I guess I'll just leave them in and see what happens. Hopefully I won't get pulled over. I'm not sure what the law says here in Utah.
Thanks again everyone. This is great forum for newbies like myself who only know the basics about cars/mechanics.
