Go to ebay they have kits with bulbs for 150 on up they don't cost a 1,000 dollars to convert over to hid's if you got that price then thats someone trying to take advantage of you for your money!!!!!

RE: Question about Blue headlight bulbs..
There are a few people on here with hid's in thier blazers. I know drperry and nj4x4blaze have them. They should be able to tell you the best and how to hook them up. There is also a few different posts on the hook-up and tips for hid's. Use the search feature to find them.

RE: Question about Blue headlight bulbs..
My hid's total cost--$74 shipped with a 14 month warranty. Before that I had Nokya "Arctic White" bulbs. They were actually very close in color to my 8000k hids, just no where near as bright.
There are kits that retail for over a grand. My previous set was aSylvania/Osram Xenarc kit off of an S2000 which I got from a buddy for free. When I shorted out a ballast I priced a new one and it was a couple hundred bucks.

RE: Question about Blue headlight bulbs..
like jimsbov, my HIDs were $74 shipped. they have them ranging from 3200k to 15000k and i think i even saw 30,000k before. the higher the number, the bluer they are (although, 30,000k is like an ultraviolet light or a blacklight and it will show up very purple)...
some kits can cost hundreds of dollars but $1000 seems a little high. i have HID bulbs (with a 9006 base)in my stock headlight assembly but using actual HID projectors is where it can get costly at. there are a few people who have HIDs in the eBay projector/halo lenses but HID projectors are much better than halogen projectors. blazin_jason is retrofitting atrue HID setup into his 85 blazer.

RE: Question about Blue headlight bulbs..
The ONLY way going HID would cost $1000 is if you did a 100% proper HID retrofit with actual HID projectors or housings.
You can do the cheaper method of a plug & play HID kit for less than $200 shipped. It doesn't work as well, and there's some light bleeding... But on most GM headlights, it's not bad enough to get highbeams flashed at you....
Until your rear suspension starts sagging, lol.
