Default HID color to match DRL

Planning to put switch my HID bulbs.

I stare at the LED DRL strip and it has quite a blue tint to it.
looks like it's probably more than 6000K, but then again my 4300K HIDs might be fooling my eyes when looked at together with the DRLs.

Anyone have experience on what color of aftermarket HIDs will match the DRLs the most?

I've also heard that the difference between cheap D4S bulbs and the expensive ones is that the cheaper ones have a greener tint, and the expensive ones have the blue tint like the DRLs?

thanks!
