But he wants blue.
Doesn't matter what kind of blue bulb you get, it will slowly discolour.
If you want the Crystal white ones (bright white), then those will last awhile.
Cost around $5 for 2 blue ones, and $10 - $15 for 2 of the CW's.

lol! yeah Im not Chinese. I kinda figured that when I was there, as I wasnt being helped at all. no big deal.
so you guys say those coloured bulbs are ****?
I think I may have the solution.
I work at a nightclub, and we have couloured washes for the intelligent lighting, basically like plastic sheets, made to handle very hot lights, all different colours
I think Im just gonna cub a piece tha size of the lightcover, and throw it in there.

I have the CW ones for the dome light....so does Buddah, (he rapped it from my old ride) . Buddah's first words after he saw the dome light turned on at night in his car......"WOW!" 
It just gives the interior a much neede boost in light. Yo can now read/see everything in the car when it's on.

Just get the ones from Eurolite/Ractive. You get 2 in a package. Depending where you....$10 - 15/pkg. It should be a blue package with white lightning all over it....it should also say "Xenon" on it.
Looks like this one......just make sure you ask if they are giving you the "clear white" ones, and not the "blue" ones.
It's the one at the top.

or something like this..
Or....
The first one is much darker, and tends to discolour over time. The bulbs are painted blue.
The second and third pics are bright white (kinda like the BMW headlight.......and these stay bright white and don't usually discolour). The glass is dyed blue......it only fiters out the yellow in the bulb and only lets though the blueish tint.....but it's bright white).
This makes you even more confused, doesn't it?
