Default Turning lights, SC400

Well, as I have my car apart for paint right now, I am cleaning up all of the lights on the front end - delining the whole entire thing... I have HID's and LED replacement lights in the headlight housing, as well as Sylvania Silverstar 1157's in the turn signals (they are reflective silver, but glow orange when on)... I noticed when my wife was driving the car the other day that the cornering lights are the ugly yellow/white color typical of normal lights, and I want something that matches closer to my HID's and/or the LED markers inside the headlight lens...

anyone done this already?

I found a few that claimed that nothing matched perfectly, but I would be ok with a bright white... due to the design of the housing, I am not sure if the LED replacements would look right or work even halfway right there...

thanks!

Cody, I installed some led's I got from a guy that was highly recommended on CL. They looked great in the cornering lights, I'll try to do a search and see if I can find who he was.

But I had a question for you...when you say, "cornering lights" do you mean the lights closest to the bottom of the front bumper (the ones people mod to turn on like fogs) or the little lights that are on the outermost edge of each headlight? I ask because I've heard people reference both lights as "cornering lights" before...so much so that I got confused

yah, I mean the one people mod to act like fog lights... the ones in the outermost portion of the headlight are ok, I have sylvania silverstars, chrome bulb and they shine orange, so they don't need to match the headlights...

I am contemplating the led's, I'd just kinda like to see what others have done and what it looks like... I am also contemplating putting some small led's in the high beamsto have them light up all the time similar to the GS's....
