Is there a difference between blue and white HID lighting?

One is blue and one is white ..... light color is measured in temperature and uses a rating called kelvin. 6500 kelvin is daylight but most bulb products with a 6500 kelvin rating will be blueish in color and frankly (IMHO) look cheap or referred to as "rice". The higher kelvin you go the less actual light (lumens) the bulb produces. I think a 5000 kelvin bulb is the the best, will be a nice pure white. The G stock headlights are 4300 kelvin. One last thing, don't buy your bulb and Walmart, PepBoys or Autozone .... do searches on the forumns, tons of posts about good Orsam bulbs.

+1. The highest I have had is 6000k which is "pure white" but I think still can look a little blue. OEM 4300 is the way to go imho as well.
