parking bulbs to match H4 sylvannia silverstars

if you've not seen the color or intensity of these bulbs, you can probably do a search for pics. otherwise, they (the silverstars) are not bluish at all, just super-blinding white. i love them at night, no one wants to look in their mirrors when i am behind their car even from like a half block down .

but

i have piaa extreme white parking bulbs and they give off a blueish but white hue of color, wich don't match up close like 4-5 feet away. they look killer on the cloudy, dusky days when i keep my H4's off and not bad with all 3 bulbs on in my stock (un-cleared) housing.

my question is do you guys know any real bright white parking bulbs? i would like to have a better match in color.

They are the best match I have found so far. I bought them at the shop on archer between ashland and halsted(think it is top speed). Hopefully ICR will see this thread, he knows what shop I mean. I will take the pic as soon it is dark enough for you to get a good view

You could also try Hyper or Hiper can't remember spelling. Anyways, when I has my Silverstars they almost match perfectly, very close, hard to tell the difference.

I've just cleared my headlights and I changed the parking lights with some cheap blue APC 194b's (supposed to be 168's I think...but it worked), turnsignals with cheap blue APC 7440's (supposed to be 7443's but I didn't want them on all the time), and descent ($40) HID immitations from PepBoys. The over all effect is just like the real HID's from a distance. Up close the blue lights accent the white headlights. Kinda cool.
