I have not done this - but you are going to need to find out the KELVIN color of the headlights you want to use and then find matching lamps for your other applications.

The more "blue" the lamp the higher the Kelvin temp. ( color ). So a 2700 Kelvin ( 27K ) lamp is very yellow -- a 5000 Kelvin ( 50K ) lamp is very blue -- and you have stuff in beween 3500K , 4100K etc....

So.. finding all the lamps in the same color in the same brand name will be hard - but if you look for just the color you might get lucky.

Also try some of the speciality lamp online sites - they might be a huge help.


Good luck
