Halo Upgrades?

Got a question guys. Just purchased a 2010 BMW X5M and looks like the OEM halo lights are dim yellow as compared to the outer ones. Anyone experienced this before on their BMW Angel eyes halos? Would like to upgrade the bulbs to the whiter clean light so that both halos match along with the regular Xenons. Help? Any thoughts? Recs?

I just put the $29 bulbs from burgertuning...

the leds wont be as effective because of the design of the headlight.. if you want it to be proper you'd have to upgrade the headlights themselves at 2k :\

If you want REALLY bright inner coronas and BARELY VISIBLE outer coronas PLUS spend a stupid amount of money, get some LEDs.

Or, you can be smart, get some PIAA bulbs and be done with it.
