194 bulbs?

I've got another question, this time about bulb colors. I've already done the HID upgrade to the car, and clear sidemarkers, but they still have the standard 194 bulb color in the headlight and sidemarker. I've been trying to find the bulb color that most closely matches the HID color, which is 6000k (kinda bluish, but still with some white in it). I've purchased 3 different bulbs off ebay, 3 different times, and have had no success. Can anyone show me a link to a bulb color they KNOW will match, or at least get me close? That's all I care about at this point. The one's I've gotten either still look like stock, or are blue like a damn SMURF! Also, if anyone knows a close color for the high beams that matches up well with HID's, that would be appreciated as well. This stuff has been driving me NUTS! I'm a great tuner and can work magic on an AEM ems, but go crazy figuring out the cosmetic stuff, LOL. Thanks again everyone.

I've become a cheerleader for Polarg after my experience with them. The lack of "blue" and the crisp "white" has made me believe in the 194's ability to look good as a bulb. I think they are just big enough to have enough power in them to do it. None of the smaller bulbs have made any good impressions on me.

Look for a LED 194. It ain't cheap but it will be white like an HID. I've been trying to find a 194 LED but autozone and kragen only have ones that keep changing colors.

I got them from the seller: premiertekinc
