Upgrading Headlights (Parking light specifically)

I bought some Crystal Vision Ultra's to uprgrade my OEM low beam bulbs on my 2012 C350. I'll try these out and see if I like them before I also upgrade the high beams to the same bulbs.

But my question is the parking bulb looks to be the one that needs to be upgraded the most if you want a true white/blueish tint. Does anyone upgrade their parking lights? The book says it's a W 5 watt bulb. Has anyone found a specific good match for this bulb to match the more white/blue tint of the CVU?

Pictures are great if anyone has anything.

Yes, theres a DIY with great pictures, though you normally can just reach your hand in there, but whatever works:

I've heard AZN_C300 sells the bulb with the best match to HID's 5000k white color:
