Your lights are aimed too high, If you adjust them a little lower that will alleviate most of the problem...

I understand this only occurs while running on DIM. I run on BRIGHTS only during the day, for better visibility to other drivers. At night I only dim while meeting other traffic, so this should minimize the blue flashing effect.

There is an older thread that discusses and explains this anomaly pretty well, maybe you can find it. Welcome to the Spyderhood!

Pop 'em up on high beam; problem solved! :thumbup:

This illusion is a result of the projector lenses, that cast a narrow beam. In the day they can flash in and out of the viewers's line of sight, appearing to flash. If viewed at just a small angle off center, teh thick lens can cast a blue color at the edges, due to refraction. The low beam shutter cuts off the beam and aggravates these illusions. Running with high beams during the day helps. Aiming the headlights a little lower can help, too.

Everyone is right. Even when being followed by another Spyder I have noticed this happening. I mentioned what was going on an the driver commented he needed to get them lowered. I suggested more air in the shock. I was further amazed by his answer, what will that do? So I explained it to him. He tried it and it worked. I have noticed that reflective street signs will turn white or blue as I approach them daylight or dark hour 
