Matching Driving Lights???

Anybody know how I can get the center driving lights to match with the outside lights?

I don't like the look of the yellow.

After multiple trial and error attempts a member from another forum turned me on to these. They are an LED with a built in resistor and match my 8k HiDs perfectly. Enjoy...

Nothing happens to the highbeams. There are two bulbs in the inners. One is a little peanut bulb or "city light" which is what I replaced with the LED bulb to match the lows (city light is on when your head lights are just like the side bumper lights) the hight beams are just an H7 bulb that is only on when you pull the blinker arm back or push it forward.

I actually bought a pair of these and just replaced them becuase they either sent me the blue ones <even tho box said white> or they where just too blue .. but after replacing them i noticed they had some sort of melted substance on them dunno what it is but it was there . also had white led H3's for the foglights but not enough light output even though they looked good


I replaced driving lights/city light with these

and they dont throw off bulb error , have matching pins and more leds then most .looks like this now

also running piaaH3 instense white because atleast with these halogens you can still drive at night if you dont run headlights just incase you forget the led h3's didnt have enought power and as much as i want the looks i prefer the light output and there isnt no led that will produce a halogen beam that i know of

I just emailed this seller last week to see if they were available in blue - they are not. I hate the stock yellow look of the daytime lights. Hard to tell from your pic but are these 17 LED H6W bulbs a true white?
