Color-matched bulbs for running lights?

I am the recent proud owner of a 2004 Cooper S JCW MC40 with only 38,000 miles on it. Totally in love with the car.

But I'm bothered by the yellow tint on the running lights that sit in the bumper while the HID headlamps are on. Are there any color matched, probably LED bulbs so there's no contrast between them and the headlights while running? I don't want them to end up too blue, which is my hesitation.

Also, they're 194 bulbs, correct?

Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the new MC40, a rare find.

We have the Ziza Led lights here, the color is very close to the xenon temp color once the xenon lights are warmed up.


Ziza Front Marker Light LEDs ( bumper running lights right next to the turn signals ). Just take the old ones out and pop the new ones in , wedge bulb is correct.

The bulb holder is supposed to come off if I turn it counter clock wise right? I managed to get the signal bulbs out but had a hard time with the running lights.

The black one is the position bulb ( for the led above ) , its a quick twist. It contains a 5 watt halogen wedge bulb. The larger gray one is the turn signal which we dont have an led for.
