Side light bulbs are governed by the same sort pf laws as headlights. So legally you could not get the blue tint your looking for. Though both Philips and Osram do UK legal bulbs that are quite white.

Interior lights are free so you can fit whatever you like. Though saying this quality bulbs for this application will tend to be more towards the warmer colour temperatures as blue has a nasty habit of messing up your night vision.

best ones by far are "smd led" bulbs.. the higher the number, the brighter the bulb..

just ebay search 501 smd led - will be loads of results.. i had the 6 smd ones and they were bright enough, but they do like 32 smd if youre willing to pay the price lol.

It is worth noting though that they are not road legal as side lights.

i got some blue LED ones in mine, far from legal, but look great, and then it adds a blue tint when dipped beam is on, looks amazing :P

Can you please elaborate a bit that how are your different bulbs and what do you want to say exactly? Xenon white colour can be the best with any combination.
