What's with the weird headlights I keep seeing more and more of?

google

HID

or

xenon bulbs with projector lenses

or

"fake" HID halogen headlight bulbs

those are the two that jumps out when you were describing it

the blue color comes standard on some newer vehicles. Phillips makes them "Cool Blue Vision" bulbs. If you live in the northern states with deer/moose, they tend to make the wildlife stand in the middle road rather than run away, so I've avoided them after a few close calls. Sylvania makes Silverstars which are both brighter and give you broader vision, for around the same price, without the blue light effects.

that is normal on the newer cars. they are much better to see by than the older ones

they are european hologen bulbs called blue dot, sears and most places like autozone sell replacement bulbs for just about any car, they work great and worth the money.
