Default DRL to match with stock HID

Hey everyone, I looked around and couldn't find a drl to match with my 4300k factory hid lights. I was browsing around the forum and stumbled upon a member suggesting that I should buy the PIAA super plasma wedge bulbs, I saw some pics and it looked perfect, so I bought me a pair of PIAA super plasma wedge bulbs and installed them today and it did not come out to how I want them to be. The Drl was white, but still kinda yellowy while my hids were white with a slight tint of blue, I was wondering where I can get drl wedge bulbs that would match my hids. In addition, I would like to know where I can get high beams that would match my Hids as well. I hope that I'm not asking for so much, everyone's inquiries are appreciated. Thanks for taking your time to read my post, have a good day.

HAHAHA!!!! Those bulbs are the worst ever! Overpriced crap that doesn't even last long. Honestly you are paying for the cheaper Xtravision blub with blue tint.

OP, there are PLENTY of threads that discuss this and I do mean plenty with pictures. Some have even used LED. Do some more searching and you will find it.

really? i have never used them. i know they are expensive (that's why i never bought them), i would think that for what they charge, they should last, lol.

My SilverStar Ultras didn't last me 7 months. I went with a PnP HID kit and it's been good for two years. I still haven't gotten around to doing a retrofit.
