Default ? on bulb matching HID's with running lites

I got a set of EDM lights a few weeks back. It was the best money I have spent on my car looks wise,
however the running lights are yellowish color. I am looking for recommendations to match the wedge
168/194 bulb with the stock HID's. Any help would be useful!

I don't have a pic of my car, but I simply went to an import tuner shop and got a hyperwhite bulb that matches really well. I'll try to PM a pic to you. If I run just the running lights the hyperwhite looks great alone too.

You can even try a hyperwhite LED like these:

Not sure which one you are using raj, but I saw a pic with the LED and it matched perfectly. BTW, how much were your bulbs raj? I found LED's for $18 a pair.

I don't remember the price, but I think they were like 5 bucks a bulb or less. I wouldn't mind an LED though because I have naked lights and the bulbs show up blue looking when not lit.

I thought the LEDs would be too dim to see?
