Are there any 1157 bulbs that are white at night but not blue during the day?

I'm specifically talking about the corner (clearance) lights. I'm looking for a bulb to match my 4300K HIDs. I know PIAA extreme white bulbs are a decent match, but do all these hyperwhite/superwhite/extremewhite bulbs have blue-colored glass?

I tried 1157 white LEDs, but those emit a sorta bluish light. I did the brighter corner mod, and it turned out more blue.

Hmm..I just found these bulbs while seaching the net...Raybrig R115's...supposedly 2x's as white as regular bulbs.

http://www.raybrig.gr.jp/products/r115_pop.html

The link is straight from the Raybrig website...dunno if the pic is photoshopped though. I'd definitely get these, if they're really that white in color. Anyone have 'em on their car?
