Default parking lights bulbs ?

so I just got an HID kit installed and got 8k on both low beams and fogs. love the way they look. now I got a question when I turn on my lights(low beams and fogs), the parking lights turn on(yellow) and do not match my HIDs. Just wondering if there is a way to turn this off or any bulb I can get to match my kit. Here are the pics. Thanks!

You can get those bulbs match your HIDS. Bulb size is 168 or 194.

You can install LEDs as mentioned above or simply take out the bulbs. I have these bulbs to go with my 5000k lights. It will better match it then the stock bulbs but I doubt anything will be spot on. Blue LEDs will be too blue and white will look too clear.

Thanks everyone, I'll probably go with the white LEDs. The hids look actually much whiter in person. Dunno why they look so blue in this pic

I pulled mine (LEDs) out because one of them burnt out. I had it in there for about a year though. I think it might be because I left them in the housing when I baked my headlights.

because you have 8k and are looking for a closer match i recommend these bulbs:

there are bulbs with more SMT but you dont want those, you want the 5smt cuz it wont fight the 8k color so much and will allow some bleeding.
