HB2 headlight bulb question

So, I finally had to replace a headlight bulb for the E30. I tracked down the right bulb at my FLAPS, but it's not as blue as the old ones. Here a pic of both:


The old bulb (darker blue) has the following info:
3A HB2 9003 12V 60/55 W

The newer one says:
Hella-Germany HB2 BLU 12V 60/55 W E1 2J7 9003

So does anyone know where to track down these darker blue bulbs? I really liked how they lit up the road at night, the new Hella bulb is a dim white, while the old one is a nice BRIGHT blue. The difference is very noticable at night.

Thanks for any help!
-Nick

-Yes, I'm the crazy man that will loan out my 9201. Just PM me, I will add you to the list and get it out ASAP.
