Can't Match My Bulbs!

So I've been looking for bulbs in my clear corners that match with the 6000K ultinons in my projectors, but havent found a solution.
I tried the PIAA LEDs from my license plate lights which are an xtreme white (?), and those didn't match. Then I went ahead
and bought the LEDs but in 'blue/white' color, and they were WAYYYYYY too blue, almost like 10000K bulbs
I also searched for pics of ultinons but the majority had the stock amber bulb in their corners.... Any suggestions along with pics please?

on my corners, so the mix of amber+black might look weird.

Yeah I think I might just take out the bulbs... and the only problem with the ambers is that I have black 4-bar overlays

Its not like you can see the black anyway, just the light shining through four bars.

Either way arguing isn't going to fix my problem so I'll just pop out the bulbs.

Oh and just for the hell of it (might as well try), if anyone has ultinons along with clears that emit a white light please chime in
