Noob Question: Xenon Headlights

I used the search feature and couldn't find this topic, might have been posted before. I'm thinking about replacing my stock headlights with Xenon headlights. However, I do know that cheap Xenon knock-offs sometimes give off blue-ish tint and eventhough I think they look AWESOME, they are alas, illegal. I read on google somewhere that the legal limit, at least in CA where I live, is 5200K color temp. Blue is around 8000K so they are illegal.

So:
1. Are Blue Xenon Lights really illegal in CA?
2. What is a good Xenon headlight brand, preferably not over $100, ones that won't burn out and still give off good amount of light?

Thank you for your response

I can't speak for Cali laws but the lights I have are D2S HID Xenon 8000K Brilliant Blue. Awesome light and relatively cheap. If you want the link PM me.
