They aren't too "yellow." They are industry standard. And they have much higher lumens than aftermarket 6-10k lamps (the higher the temp, the less light output.) Sounds like you just want it for show instead of function(?)

Hmm that's weird the manual doesn't specify the type of bulbs for your car, but all I know 6000K would be white with slight bluish output and should be perfect if you're not looking for something too blue.

If you pull the bulb (be careful, high voltage) you can check the number and order one from an aftermarket HID vendor. Or just call the dealer and get the bulb number.

But if you change it out you might get a code from the CAN bus(?) Could be an issue(?)

btw, the blue lamps are simply coated and cut down on lumens (this has been discussed ad nauseam.) Also it makes the car look ricer in a lot of people's opinions. You'll lose about 12% of light output by going to 6k.

Look here: http://www.mobilehid.com/6000k.htm

But do whatever tickles your gonads.
