Best way to match inner headlights with outer OEM HIDs?

I used the 5-led bulbs from warden_jp2002 on ebay too, they were by far the best looking bulb I used but the shade didn't match my 6000k's which have a slight purplish color. If your HID's have a little more blueish color I would try these out. They lit up the high beam housing better than anything I've seen.
I've got the Polarg's in right now and hate them, the color is fine but they are not nearly bright enough, the housing still looks very dingy. I'm gonna look around but if I can't find anything better than these I'm taking them out.

MPLexus301: I would try the link that chrispy provided. It is from the same seller that I mentioned earlier. Those particular ones should match your 4300K better.

I'm gonna try the LED's again once I do my retrofit, I'm hoping they might match the color of the projectors better. If not, I'll go on a search for the same thing with a hint of purple instead of blue. If that doesn't pan out I'll just go without anything in the wedges. The polargs are dirtying up the front end of my car right now, I'd rather have nothing.

I'm gonna have to get the Polarg ones. I have the v-leds and they're not even close like stated earlier. I think with a 6k it would match perfect. They are still better than the oem that's for sure.

Seems like a lot of people are saying that the LED bulbs work best with the 6K HID kit, but I am obviously trying to matck stock which is what, 4300?
Still unsure if I should use the Polargs or LEDs with my OEM HID outers. Probably leaning towards polargs based on comments here.

I would say go with a hyper-white LEDs. Particularly, look for 5-led refractors. I've tried several different types of wedge bulbs and these seem to match and look the best. I do have 6000K HID bulbs, but even with stock 4300K HID bulbs, they did match nicely before I swapped them out.
You can check Ebay. The seller's name is jp_warden or something along those lines. I have purchased from this seller on several occasions and everything has been great. GL!

You could also look into these

I think the "warm" light led's would probably work the best.

I put the Polargs M4 in my GS a few months ago and they do a pretty good job of coming close to the outer OEM but are not anywhere near as bright of course. They are not that bright but look much better then the stock yellow/amber bulbs and have a nice look to them. Not really sure what bulb you could get if you want them brighter, I have read people having problems with LEDs not lasting for very long and decided not to go that route.

Well I just got the Polargs and installed them and...uhhh...they barely have any out put
I drove into a relatively dark parking deck to check them out and they barely even look turned on. It looks like the inner light could "look" illuminated just because it's next to the outer HID headlight...if that makes any sense?
I am going to wait for night to get a better feel but if it doesn't look any brighter than I'll definitely be going for the LED set.
