parking light bulb to match 6500k hid?

hey everyone, i put 6500k HIDs in my car last night, they look great but now the parking light looks like shit next to it when its on. its like freakin orange/yellow and the headlight is o so clean lookin. Has anyone found some bulbs to put in there that match pretty well? I think I am going to black out my headlights and do a custom grill this weekend, maybe buy a set of clear turnsignals and then black those out too. Yup.

I had the same problem with my HID kit (not the group buy, i sold them alittle while ago bc i was desperate for money and want them back so bad ). i just ended up buying the clear LED bulbs that light up yellow from autolumination.com

you have pictures of the output? i wanna see the comparison from my old 5000k to the 6500k in the group buy

My friend is thinking about picking up a set of 6000k D4S's for his 06 lex GS. The lex has those parking lights and he currently has 5 LED refractors in there now but they dont match the 4300k OEM lamps. So i hope the 6k he picks up match. Anyone else think that will work?

I don't think 6000 kelvin will match 4300 kelvin, but it'll be closer than led maybe Why doesn't he just get another 4300 kit?

Maybe i wasn't clear enough. The OEM HID's are 4300K. He's trying to upgrade to a d4s 6000k bulb to match the white 5 led refractor bulbs.

Gotchya, that should work. The thread was about changing the corners to match, not the other way around, u confused me
