Color wise, yes. I'm running Nokya yellows in the high beams. They don't match, but I love the output between the two.

You could probably use a set of some "hyper white" bulbs to match it closer. But if you don't use the high beams all the time, I wouldn't worry about the mismatch.

I wouldn't run HIDs in the high beam reflector because of the DRL circuit and flashing the high beams quickly will shorten the lifespan of the bulbs compared to incandescents.
