Morimoto XB35 D2S HID from the theretrofitsource.com they are one of the best his replacement bulbs for our cars. Check them out. You can choose the kelvin temperature (color) I'll add a picture for you. I have 6500k it has a hint of blue but not too much. 5500k is cool too.

Diode Dynamics offers very affordable HID's too. Might as well swap everything out for 5000k while you're at it! They also sell the tail-as-turn kit if you want to only use the LED's in your tail lights.

What year is your car? If I remember correctly the Morimotos won't work if it's a 2012 or newer, hopefully someone will be able to give a better answer on that though.
