My blue bulbs are not as obvious as his, mine just has a tint of blue from some angles, at no point is mine ever totally blue like that.
The 3157 DRL bulbs I am using now is the 2nd pair, first pair lasted 13-14 months. They are exactly same, except the first pair said XENON on packaging, the 2nd pair said the bulbs are painted blue, no mention of xenon gas or any gas anywhere. I have to guess that PhilD was right long ago, there is no xenon gas in the cheap bulbs. Personally I think they should keep up the false advertising with fake xenon gas claim on all packagings, I wouldn't know the difference and could be happier thinking they are xenon.
The original factory DRL bulbs were Sylvania 4157. Made date 8/28/2002.
Regrading my offroad lamp covers, they are factory covers came with my Hummer new, I only put the covers on very recently, a fresh new look to me, doubt anyone else will ever notice them. Most likely will not stay on for long, I do need to use these lamps on the dark and winding mountain roads.
