Hi John, I would recommend the Bimmian Xenesis Tru-Match Xenon White Bulb set, which is a direct plug and play replacement. These are a quick solution to getting rid of that factory yellow and are a close match to your xenon headlights. These bulbs have a 4200k color temperature.

Maybe considder H11 Led bulbs, I did it and it looks great in comb. with xenon.
I also did the angeleyes in pure white led, highbeams in xenongasfilled halogen bulbs of 100w.
People come often towards me to ask if its a new car!
warning: use for every lightupdate the same Kelvin-color(mine was 6000K).

good luck!

For foglights the slight yellow is desired for the best affect in fog. Now if you drive with them on all the time...

Which LED did you get for the angel eyes? I can't seem to find a confirmation anywhere of what the halogen or LED replacement for the angel eyes is.

Take a look at the Philips CrystalVision bulbs. Added those to my fogs in my TDI with HIDs. They are about a 95% match. They are 4000K. Could not find any that state that they were 4300K. Only $26.00 at K-Mart.
