What color HID's did you go with? 6000k?

Go here and get these...

http://autolumination.com/194.htm

(Scroll all the way to the bottom until it says... 194 168 W5W 2825 Stealth Silver Chrome)

If you have the newer CLEAR HEADLIGHTS go with the "SUPER WHITE" on the left hand side. If you have the STOCK HEADLIGHTS, go with the "SUPER WHITE" XENON on the right hand side.

The LED's in the HALO's themselves can't be replaced. as for the city lights.... the 194 bulbs are correct. it's a simple plug and play.
