Default [pics] need help choosing which bulb would work better

Ok, so here's the deal. I recently upgraded my headlights from stock halogens to sylvania silverstars. I really like the cleaner, crisper, brighter look of the silverstars but my stock sidelights don't match up with them. As you can see in this pic:



I decided to replace the stock bulbs with LED's. I bought a pair of hyper white LED's w/ violet tint which I thought would be a close match to the silverstars (which have a slight violet tint to them) but as you can see in these pics they turned out to be the wrong color:


here's what they look like with the covers on:


way to much blue and they look ricer. So I'm going to try this again. What I'm looking for is something bright and clean looking that would compliment my headlights. I've narrowed my search to the two following LED bulb types:
9 LED wide bulbs or 5 LED Refractor bulbs

Now my question to you is which of those bulbs would work better for the look I'm trying to get?

personally, im running silverstars all around (lows+highs+fogs) and i have a set of PolarG 194 bulbs in them. (M4 or M6 i think). they are a tad too blue but since i plan to upgrade to HID in the future it doesnt overly bother me. and they are nowhere NEAR as blue as those leds/
