Default high beam bulb replacement

i have 7000k nokya's in for my high beams, but when you look at the headlights, you can see the blue coming from the bulb. i use my hids almost all the time so i don't really use the high beams/drls but i wanted to put in a different bulb to get rid of the blue. i was thinking of the piaa tera led bulb...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...o-20/ref=nosim

but i just wanted to make sure it won't mess anything up with the drls or high beams or anything.

p.s. i know it says $89 but i won't be spending that much... just curious if this bulb or anything like it will work fine.

This is what I bought for my car. The whole point of these bulbs are that it DOES NOT show the blue in the daytime.

all i know is when i changed mine out it looks like stock during the day... i dont get it... it looked really white in the store display. i need someone to explain why it isnt bright white... is it because its not fully powered when the highbeams are actually day time running lights?

i have the nokya 7000k now and it looks ugly with the blue bulb so i wanted something clear/white for the bulb but something that is somewhat close to my 6000k hid fog/lows. oh well, i'll see how they work out.

that is only for the fog not for the high beam unless they have H7 otherwise you couldn't put it in the high beam...
