how much are the bulbs? the hid upgrade will cost you like $70 and well worth every penny!

I would leave them alone until you get the HIDs. The blue coloured bulb will diminish your visibility 100 fold.

here is the deal.... if you go to ebay and search for a seller with name of "mydepots" you will see he has hid conversion kits for about $70-75. Most of us here have used them and they are good! As for the day time running lights, it is a 394 bulb (i think and if not someone will correct me quickly) you can go to v-leds.com and order a LED in bright white. It just plugs right in and matches the 6000k and 8000k HID's perfectly. A poll was placed and I agree that the 6000k color for the headlights is the way to go. If you need help with any of this or don't understand what i am talking about please PM me and I will help as much as i can. I just changed all my lights a month or so ago and i don't know how you would have anything else in this car!
