Blue headlights, along with most 'aftermarket' bulbs are illegal. The blue coating is an optical filter, designed to filter out the yellow wavelengths of light, leaving a pure white.
Try Sylvania Silver Stars next time. They're street legal.

Because they can be distracting to other drivers. The other problem is that some of the illegal lights don't put out the minimum amount of illumination the NHTSA requires for safe night driving.
