Luminics Deep Blue look awesome with 8k's. DRL and Parking can replaced with LED's of your choice as far as color. Don't put LED's in your high beam because you will lose visibility when you need it, i was going this same route and changed my mind after thinking logically about it. Rather be safe and look good than just look good

8K should just go with white parking light. Any other color could run you the risk of getting pullover. High beam wise, I think you should leave as is or HID it. You'll lose your high beam if you LED it, so don't.

Your DRL's are your highbeams at half. I used the PIAA extreme white 9005. They are awsome in the day and killer as brights!

the question you should ask yourself first is, do you even use your hibeams? If you're a city dweller go LED. If you're in the sticks and use your hibeams alot, dont get LED.

or you can go another route.....have the DRL's turned off, therefore getting rid of that yellowish light look during the day. then swap the highbeams out for something brighter. for example i use sylvania silverstar ultras for my highbeams. they are an OEM supplier, enables me to still have useable highbeams, and are whiter and brighter then stock. plus relatively cheap. LEDS for highbeams imo are only useful for daylight use, sincce i dont think people drive with the highbeams on at night all the time.
