Default questions about 06-07 parking lights

I recently upgraded my 04 lights to 06 head lights and tail lights. When I installed them, I did the LED corner mod as well. Now that everything is up and running, I really don't like the parking lights' yellowish look next to the HIDs, I think it really takes away the cripsness, and white distinct look of the HIDs and want a simple way of getting rid of the parking light. Because I have the LED corners spliced to the parking light wires, if I just removed the parking light bulb, will my LEDs still light up? If the bulbs are simply removed will any of the condensation trapped in the head light cause a short with the headlight assembly with the opening from the unused parking light bulb? I guess the other option would be finding a LED based bulb to replace the original parking light bulb, but that would be my last option since, LEDs are prone to burn-outs when it's so close to a high temperature bulb such as the HID bulb.
Any help would be great.

You can take out your parking light bulbs and stick back in the harness so no condensation will appear. If you just take out the whole harness and leave a hole in there, then yes, condensation will appear and it's a b!tch. You would have to take apart the whole light just to clean the inside since the water of the condensation is dirty. You won't lose your main orange LED up top.

I put in some PIAA white lights and they are just as white as my 06 HIDS. It's such a good match up. I know what you mean since my old parking light bulbs were so yellow next to HIDS even though they were white.
