Just get a HID conversion kit for your highs with the same color temp bulb and same brand (not all brands are the same color)...

They are just white LEDs, Id suggest buying several different ones since they are about $3 a set and using the ones you like best. The others you can stick in other random spots around your car. Id also highly suggest NOT getting HIDS for your highs, just get some 9005 LED bulbs as well. But if you want some HID highs Ill sell you mine for cheaper than what I paid 2 weeks ago.....

Personal preference I guess. I suppose I miss my daytime running lights and when I do hit my highs it seems it takes 1-2 seconds for the bulbs to "warm up" ( I dont know exactly what theyre doing....). Secondly I only use my highs to "flash" people anyway so they were kinda a waste of money... granted 100 bucks isnt much so Im not crying over it.

good point on the warm up time, also depends on your temp. Obviously the higher the temp, the longer it takes, however there are those million dollar HID's that heat up instantly.... (talk about waste of money ) I suppose those new Silverstars (or whatever they expensive Sylvanias are called) would suffice for high beams

these are 5k low beams & ebay led's look up (pure white). they have a "warm, & hid white"

warm = 4300k oem hid
pure white = 5k
hid white = 6k bluish hint
