I did it, I replaced the bulb with polarg hyper blue bulb which actually gave me a bluish light. From near, it looks really blue, and from far it looks whiter with a blue tint. Here is a picture.

ML320, Looking for my S4
i'm not sure about what to do with my city lights, i already have 4 xenon bulbs but the city lights i'm thinking about leaving the same so that they make the xenons stand out more, but i could also put in blueish lights like nate has to blend in with the xenons. Btw check out sylvestin. I think thats how you spell it. they have bulbs that LOOK like their xenons but their not. Some one in the fourm has them and they look good.

If you have the stock ones, you must get the blue light bulbs, then shave off one of the metal pin thing sticking out in order for it to fit. I shaved them, then took apart my headlight and realized they won't fit because I have a depo headlight which takes different city lights. So they are brand new and already shaved to fit inside of a stock headlight unit. I'll see if I can find them and i'd probably charge $5 or so seeing as I have to ship them.

Not sure what the model is, but a search for Polarg yielded this:
Polar M-17

Searching for H6W gives me a bunch of hits, but most in the UK.

I'm assuming that you know how to take the headlights out. Once the headlights are out, do the following:
Open back compartment
Locate City Light bulb
Rotate to the left and pull out
Rotate again and pull out of the light bulb socket
This is the stock bulb
In that picture above^^ you can see two knobs sticking out of the light bulb. They are noted in the picture by circles. On the aftermarket blue bulbs that you buy from polarg, one of those must be shaved off in order to fit because the knob placement is slightly different on the polarg bulbs. I used a dremel tool and easily shaved the knobs off.
The name of the bulb is Polarg ® B1 Hybrid Hyper White City Light 8W and can be purchased here:

If you have DEPO AFTERMARKET PROJECTOR HOUSING, then you will use Polarg B1 hybrid m4 bulbs 5w. (with the different end tips) which can be purchased here:

Are you sure all the Depo projector light aren't use the H6W parking light like the original? Because I just order PIAA SUPER TERA 6500K Hyper LED Wedge Bulbs for my car.. and i plan to change the Depo projector headlight in 6 month times.. So the original H6W parking light wont fix the Depo projector head light?

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying. The depo projectors use all the same bulbs except for the city lights. When you buy depo projectors, they come with city lights already installed so you don't need to worry about them. However, the already installed lights in the depo projectors have a yellow tint.
