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.

Thanks again (as well as for the DIY in the first place).
I got everything installed. Getting the bumper off and then back on again was the toughest part. Those side markers are just awful. Somehow I managed to keep them on and not break anything.
I ended up leaving the Y-splitter out. The high beam bulbs are just sitting in the housings now, and not attached to anything on the car. With 6000K LEDs and the 6000K HID kit, I didn't want to mix the colour with the high beam bulb. The switchback LEDs are really bright and are more than sharp enough to act as DRLs, leaving the bi-xenons only for night driving.
All that's left to do is align the headlights and then (get a carwash, then) take pictures.
