Default headlight question

I have seen several C5 around town that seem to have blue or white lights while I still have the old yellow lights.

I am guessing this is a newer bulb and can be bought from an auto parts store.

Anyone got the part # and brand name?
How much should I be looking to pay?

I was thinking they may be like the GE HID bulbs I run in my truck. But those are the little bulbs not the big square ones we have.

They're probably running a hid set-up from either a forum vendor or the big auction site. Expect to pay around $100-$130 fo the same set-up.

If you want the ultimate headilight upgrade, give me a shout as i have a set of Radioflyer Projectors for sale! See linky
