Matching corner bulbs with Hanabi kit on ???

Can anyone tell me what they did to their corner lights when installed the Hanabi kit... I have hyper white corners in but when sitting beside the HID's they look so dull and dirty... I was just thinking of putting back in some Ambers.

I didn't want to get into the battle of matching them so I put the orange in.

I just unplugged my corners. Rewired or not they won't match HIDs, and we have enough bulbs to begin with.

i cut the wires to the lower filament to the cornering light, and wired the side markers in series with the turns, so nothings on while the hids are on unless im turning. (not sure if this is legal or not in nyc, but so far so good). the lights look cleaner , but i think it makes my car look smaller at a distance.

I just replaced my blue corner bulbs for some $1.50 General electric yellow bulbs. Shaved the top nipple as usual and installed them backwards. Looks mighty beautiful and it matches.
