Smile High beam to match low beam

Hello experts. A quick one: I am waiting for my 35th anniversary and wanted to replace stock H7 high beam bulbs to "match" (colourwise) the low beam HID (BTW could someone confirm the Ks of the stock HID bulbs please). Any suggestions on make and type? Thanks!

the low beams that are HID are 4300K

Not sure as to what high beam bulb would be similar in color

You could do a high beam xenon conversion, but cost would be high. If you just want to add a halogen I would go with a 5000k. Be sure that the halogen wattage stays at 55w, if you want to go any higher/brighter, upgrade your h7 connector.

You can trust PIAA, they make quality bulbs. I dont have any pics, but I would go with PIAA. Be sure not to touch the bulb

I can get hold of PIAA bulbs over here for sure but need to check for 5000K ones-worst comes, I'll get them shipped from the US. BTW, what is the name of the PIAA 5000K model in the US?
