What bulbs did you use for the "running lights"? They look really blue. Maybe its just the picture?

I would either try to match the running lights with your HIDs or match your HIDs to the running lights.

A 6k HID bulb will match better to the LED. Looks good!

if you want to keep the oem headlights, polarg m4 bulbs are the way to go, those 194 white leds are super lame no matter where you buy them, they always look blue compared to the oem headlight

Funny how I just did this to my car yesterday and saw this post today and my car has exactly the same effect.

Yes, I used white LEDs but they turned out to be much bluish than I expected. After seeing the result, I am thinking of switching the HID bulbs to 6000k to make the color of the lowbeams much closer to the LED city lights. I know it would be a closer match because I have 6000k in 3 of my other cars and those in my GS are far too yellowish in comparison (even though they look really white just by themselves).

Anyway, all I need to do is just buy 35W D4S bulbs and do the switch, right? Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!
