I know nothing about blue lights

I've just got a 90 MX-6 for commuting and, this being the only Mazda ng,
I'll ask to trouble you for a few questions.

I'm replacing one of the headlights and would like a little more depth. Do
the blue bulbs work? If you've had experience with them, which brand/type to
use? I've heard some pull current/burn wiring, true? Do they come in
highbeam only configuration- which I'd prefer?

Also any automatic owners willing to tell me what the "Hold" is for.

What's the prefered manual Chilton or other?

thanks for patience, jon

No they don't work. If anything they are worse because they filter out light
to get that blue look to them. What is even more stupid is that they cost
more than other bulbs that put out more light.

Sure... they work great for blinding/annoying the everlovin' **** out of
anybody unfortunate enough to be exposed to their glare. Aside from
that, they're even more worthless than the oft-cited tits on a boar hog.

Personally, I'd recommend you go with whatever brand is handy, then
modify them slightly, as follows:

1) Install
2) Hit repeatedly with a hammer until the blue goes away.
3) Go buy a PROPER set of headlights and install them.

Hint, in case you didn't catch it when I was trying to be subtle:
Those <I'll be polite and elide the string of cuss-words> blue lights
should be legal justification for shooting the moron who put them on the
car, the idiot driving it, and anyone else even remotely connected with
them existing in the first place.

That's a good Q. I'm so disappointed in the Chilton and Haynes
manuals today. They lump so many models and years together that I
often find the instructions less than perfect. In the old days
(80's), Chilton's was spot on.
