Thumbs up W221 LED strip in DRL replace

Hello guys! The OEM LEDs in headlights of facelifted W221 have a yellow-green shade, so I came to a conclusion that it would be better to replace them by light blue LEDs. It would require disassemble of headlights and some soldering.

However, does anyone can advice which LEDs can change the color and won't make an effect of bright chinese DRL? Links would be greatly appreciated.

Below is an example of W216 with original LEDs and photoshopped.

Yes, the xenon bulbs at first photo is way too yellowish, but it's all about DRL LEDs, which is something similar in real. It has yellow-green shade and not pure aqua blue. So I'd like to solder new LEDs in, but I have no clue which to order to keep the OEM look.
