Swapping gen 1's to ccfl

Okay so I traded my stock black painted headlights for a set of chrome gen one led projectors, which the wiring was a complete mess, so I rewired them to find out two halos are burnt out and one of the accent leds is burnt out too so I decided im going to swap them to ccfl and paint the housing black(I hate chrome but wanted gen 1's bad) Anyway I read the writeup on here on how to swap them to ccfl, its easy enough to do but the link he posted for the ccfls doesn't carry the 90mm anymore, just the 100mm, 85mm and 95mm. So my question is will the 85mm work or should I go with another company? Im looking for white ccfl's and im going to replace all 6 led accent lights with white leds. I also had a set of gen 3 projectors before with a 6k HID kit in them and after about 3 months the clearcoat started to burn off where the light was coming out so im not going HID again, and need to know what you would recommend for low beam H1 bulbs, I have Sylvania basic $5 bulbs in there now. SO CLIFF NOTES

1. Will 85mm ccfls work in the high beam halo spot, if not where should I get them from(want to order all the ccfls from the same company)
2. Where do you recommend me getting white led's to match the ccfls, bulb size is 194
3. Whats the best halogen bulb to get for the H1 low beams?
Thanks in advance and ill post pics once I get the materials and warm weather to paint the lights(don't wanna bake them apart twice!

ok im not expert, but if youre going to replace the halos youre gonna have to open up the headlight so why not open it up and measure the halos? secondly i may get flamed for this but i am an ebayaholic so thats where id look. i have been compiling stuff off of there for a tail light retrofit im working on. you should be able to find cfl halos on there in almost any size. if you are wanting to stay with halogens instead of hids in them then lumanics makes stage 2 bulbs that are very bright. i had a set of h4 bulbs in my bike. low beam was like 80 or 90 watt and the high beam was 100 watt but they pull some juice as well so may require a replacement of wiring to the bulbs.
