Those blue headlights are infact Xenon bulbs. However, you can't just stick blue Xenon bulbs in your car and have the same effect. Your friend's BMW has a true Xenon bulb setup, ballasts/relectors and all, which can cost upwards of 600-800 even as high as 1000$. They are blue because they are a REAL Xenon setup.

You can buy blue Ion bulbs and get a ridiculious BLUE accent to your lights, but it looks like complete rice IMO. If you want the real deal, go look for a Sylvania (It's what's on my Silverado, my M# already had Xenon's in it) HID kit on the net, and purchase the real thing. There is more to Xenon's then just the fact they have blue light, they are unbelivably bright. The best headlighting available on the market today. Putting a blue bulb on your car doesn't add anything, except blue lights. =/ And blue bulbs look ridiculious anyway.
