Xenon for the eye lids?? The eye lids are Wedge based lamps, try the search function it is posted which one you need. But i dont think there are Xenon lights for the eye lids...

My Polarg M4 just matches OEM xenon (less than 6000)

Just did the eyelids, with the Polarg M4s, relative cheap at 8/pair x 2 pairs. They are 194 type bulbs.

Did anyone else had one b&*ch of a time getting at the driver's side bulbs?

I dont think you have enough room in the eyelid to fit an HID bulb.
Do a search for LED eyelids, they match your HID color.

Might be worth mentioning that hid fogs and heads won't match completely, even though you get both in 10000k due to the space and projection. The fogs will appear more 8-9000k

k thanks for the comments guys. Ya I'm looking into the led because I don't know how well the m4 polargs will match. Would hyper or super white match the 10000k on my headlights more? And suggestions on led to match the headlights? Leave comments thanks

The Polarg bulbs matches the OEM bi-xenons very well, which is a pure cool white color.

The 10,000k lights are more purpleish in color.
