Default White-blue High beam/drl on 2010 IS250

Can anyone suggest anything that would appear as white-blue as high beams and also as drl's. I have a 2010 IS250 and the stock DRL/High beam bulb is orange. I want to match the drl/high beam color with my stock HID low beams. I was thinking HID kit, but I read that using HID for high beams is not a good idea since it won't light up instantaneously like a halogen. Thanks in advance.

Get LED DRLs (this will eliminate your high beam function) or upgrade to the led headlights

I was considering led drls, but I don't really intend on eliminating the high beams. Currently I'm thinking of Osram Night Breakers or Philips Crystal Vision, but I think the drl will still appear same as stock.

Anyone know if these are good replacement over the stock halogen? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PHILIPS-5000K-DIAMOND-VISION-9005-HB3-HALOGEN-BULB-12V-65W-2PC-MADE-IN-GERMANY-/121123419233?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c3384b461&vxp=mtr

Blue tinted bulbs tend to be crap and a waste of money. =/
Ever consider buying a techstream unit (the chinese replica one $26) from ebay to disable your DRLs then use 3000k 9005 bulbs for your hibeams?
