Default Narva Xenon Blue Bulbs from Jacobs Electronics. Are they any better then stock Xenon bulbs?

<center><img src="http://www.jacobselectronics.com/images/Limages/lightbulbs.GIF"></center><p>Quote:

"NEW from Narva, the next generation in automotive lighting, the Xenon Boosted Blue Bulb. A 30 percent increase in perceived light is a result of a new coating material that actually increases the color temperature of the bulb to move the light closer to daylight wavelength. The Xenon Boosted Blue Bulb is designed to replace the standard 9004, 9005, 9006, &amp; 9007 bulb and requires no wiring or modification of any type.

By coming closer to a daylight color, these NEW bulbs allow the brain to actually process more of the information the eye receives from the road. The color of the light matches the " sweet spot" of the eye, and thus more information is transmitted to the light processing area of the brain. The brain sees a broader patch of light directly in front of the automobile, but, as distance in front of the vehicle is increased, the Xenon Boosted Blue Bulb keeps the light on the portion of the road where is most beneficial. This NEW product fully conforms to all DOT regulations as well as all ECE (European) R37 regulations."<ul><li><a href="http://www.jacobselectronics.com/products/NewProducts/narvabulbs.htm">Narva light bulbs</a></li></ul>

Default Looks like a fraud. Those are blue painted halogens in the picture...not Xenons.

Its an old trick to call halogen bulbs with a little xenon gas inside "Xenon bulbs". They actually contain some real xenon gas to cover their fraud-*** legally. But these are the things you see on ricers. Totally useless! Real Xenons use arc, not filaments.

I wouldn't trust a company what sells stuff like this! How do you know other stuff they sell really IS what they tell you it is? The least they could have done is add a warning stating that these are not real xenon's, just in case. Cause this is misleading!

Default H11's aren't used much, and yellow ones even less. Hard to get. Top brands imo Philips and Osram.

If you have (real) Xenons you could try Osram Cool Blue's to have the fogs match better visually (less yellowish look, oncomming). Don't know if those are available in H11 though. Haven't seen yellow H11's, but I'm sure they must be available somewhere.
