Default Hoen-USA city bulbs...which ones?

Now that I finally got them installed, I really like the way the Hoen-USA 9006 fogs look and I was thinking about changing out my city lights for the Hoen-USA 4100k city bulbs. I noticed on their city light page however, that they actually have 2 kinds of city bulbs available (although one is on backorder).

Will there be any difference between the W5W City Lights ($12) and the W5W City Light Radial LED ($12)? The Radial LEDs are 4200k versus 4100k on the regular city bulbs.

Also, if I want to change out my DRL/high beams, would order the XenonMatch Plus 9005 bulbs ($37)? Are these a direct swap out for the off-white blahhh stock DRL/high beams? Will I retain highbeam functionality?

Thanks...

I'm just looking for a city bulb that will have around a 4000k temp so that it's close to the HoenUSA fogs I have, which match my factory HIDs pretty good if I had to rate them.

Anyone else?
