Matching the hid light color to parking light color?
So the hid on my 2002cl500 are the nice pure white light of xenon hid bulbs , but the round parking lights next to them is the typical yellowish light of halogen lamps
What bulbs do I buy /search for on ebay for the smaller round parking lights next to the headlights ?
Also
I want the light color to match across all 4 lights , what color temperature bulbs should I buy for the parking lights ? 5000k? 6000k?
If you have a recommended supplier please let me know

I changed my parking lamps to "error free" led's, 5000k. I ended up putting the old ones back in because every now and then I would get a check lamp error on the dash even when it wasn't burnt out. If you do find lamps that fit with a whiter color, please let us know if they work. I think the size is BAXS9 with offset pins.
