HID question

I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with my current setup. Rght now I have clear corners with non sponsor LED switchbacks that are a white/super white in color when not flashing.

They look damn sexy at night, but my silverstar ultras just look like poo in comparison. Do any of you know which color HID kit would "perfectly" match the LED's I have in the corners? I was thinking it would be something around 6000k +/- 500.

5000-6000K is pure white. Probably closer to 5k

6000K is probably closer. I have seen some HIDs still being more white than the switchbacks.

4300 is pure white... but 6000's would be fine, just with a touch of blue in the bulb itself, but not the beam on the ground.

I had the same deal going on with my WS6. Had switchbacks with the hyper white. Didn't look right with the standard headlamps. I was going to get HID's either way but WOW. I got the 6k bulbs from LEDGauges.com. It no longer makes the LED switchbacks look blue either. They both match in color. Get the 6k bulbs.
