I don't get it. You want your car to 'look' clean or to 'be' clean? Personally I preffer the second. So, I wash it very often, reason is I can't stand dirt.
Yeah, ok... get the silver and most of the time it seems clean. Then you accidentally touch the car and you get dirty 'cause the car isn't. At least with the black you can tell for sure and try to avoid it.

Use photoshop, or paint shop pro. Go to image size, decrease the size (eg 640x480) or the resolution and you should be under the limit.

Yes, they are the OEM bulbs. They are Xenon lights, they always have this 'blue' color
