Need bulb recomendation

I have a 2013 with halogen headlights and just replaced the front running lights with LEDs I cannot believe how yellow the headlights look compared to the LEDs. I have Silverstone already and will not go HID any suggestions?

Morimoto 5000K, make sure you get the canbus harness for HID.

Phillips Diamond Vision 5000K for halogen but light output will be less, especially in the rain.

The Sylvania H7 ZXE are not bad either. I have them but I've heard mostly Phillips Diamond Vision. I believe the diamond visions are illegal for road use if you really care while the ZXE are legal.

You won't find Philips Diamond Visions in stores unfortunately. As mentioned, they're illegal for street use per DOT. Not that any cops will know the difference. You'll have to order them online if that's what you're interested in.

They are the whitest halogen bulbs I've personally seen. They won't get to the higher kelvin temps HIDs can reach, but you're looking at probably 4500K-4700K ish range.
