Keep your yellow halogens on your highbeams. Any other color will not help when you need them.
The only way to have HIDs for both your lows and highs is to get bi-xenon head lights like Skiracer had done.

Nothing to "fix". The low beams are HID units that run at ~5000K, the high beams.....
are halogen units that run at ~3500K. That is the color difference you see. You do not want to replace your high beams with HID bulbs because you will lose the ability to flash your high beams (it takes too long for the HIDs to ignite). There are a couple of possible solutions- replace your stock halogen high beams with Sylvania SilverStar bulbs (slightly bluer color), or go the expensive route and buy bi-xenon HID projectors from Europe. The bi-xenon projectors will give you more of the high temp light when on high beams, but the halogen high beams will still be there.

Re: If I find the bi-xenon...
Where would I find them? The german ebay? Then what would I expect to pay? But I like both your suggestions. Thank you.
