I don't know how much help this is, but if you really want to be sure the new lights stay clear, stick with the OEM bulbs.

Are you trying to get an HID look?

Nope. My dad used to use the Euro lights in his car and it kept the clear look but they are brighter.

Several folks who have the halogen headlamps use silverstar bulbs, and seem to like it. The only catch is that they don't last as long as the OEM bulbs, with some people reporting they burn out after 1 year of use.

smart. I picked up a set from a 996 911 and sold them about 6 months later for exactly what I paid for them.
Seems to me like if someone could figure out how to cover over the orange with some manner of grayish/silver clip-on housing they would make allot of dough.
