It's not gonna be exactly the same since HID color is different. Your best bet would be HID angel eyes or you could go with a simple bulb replacement for a more white color.

I installed 7500 GP Thunders and am very disappointed. These bulbs do make the outer rings whiter but leave the inner smaller rings yellow. It looks worse having the mismatch.

outter rings will be dimmer compared to the inner as the light distribution frpm the bulb goes from inner to outter ring, I am happy with my GP Thunder 8500K, but of course that is merely a subjective measure....
