Possible to get city lights to match HIDs closer?

I have 6000k HIDs and the stock city bulbs (Sylvania 194s) are a very... halogen, almost tungsten color. It looks good at dusk with no low beams on, but when i hit the low beams my 6000k low beams are somewhat ruined by the orange-ish city lights. Looked in the Pepboyz Rice Aisle for something thats almost "cool blue" but didn't find anything...

try an acessory shop (or Ebay) for LED 194s. The white ones match HID very well. I had them on my MB 190E. I was worried that the light would be too focal. A regular bulb would be brighter but the LED will shine through the reflectors adequately. Try to find a newer generation LED with multi mini-LEDs that aim in slightly different directions.

I'll 2nd the LED vote...

My signature shows my blue parklight LEDs. These are an LED with a 'wedge' type base, so they fit if they were a 'real' wedge type globe.

I purchased Phillip's "Diamond Vison" globes for my main beam (bloody expensive $160AUD+ for a pair!!), and the packaging came with 2 'blue' wedge globes. These weren't blue enough in my opinion, hence the LEDs.

I could only find one set on ebay worldwide, but they don't appear to come with the wedge bulbs too:

PIAA makes some city light bulbs I think.
My city lights match. I think they are PIAA.

Superbrightleds.com has 194-type LED bulbs in white for something like $3.75 each.

That should fit the bill.
