K10D, Fireworks and White Balance

Does anyone have any suggestions for choosing a white balance when photographing fireworks with a K10D ? I always used film before (Kodak 100Tungsten negative), and did some test with city lights a few days ago, and was surprised with the results when comparing Tungsten and Daylight settings.
