Morimoto XB35 4500k vs 5500k color comparison PICS
My eyes are sensitive to cooler lighting so I ordered some 4500k bulbs. They almost look like halogens compared to the 5500k's. Light on the road is pure white, looking at the headlights has a tinge of blue. The 4500k's are a warm white on the road and white looking at the headlights.
I've listed up the 5500k bulbs for $35 shipped here:

You should also consider replacing the front marker lights with error-free LED bulbs for color matching light.
I could not stand that yellow next to bright white headlights on our W211
