Question Stupid question but here we go

Hi guys, I recently replaced my driver side HID headlight assembly with a new OEM unit (these things aren't cheap and I now want to replace the lens on the pass side because it looks faded ). It came with all new bulbs and everything works as it should. Here's my question: the passenger side assembly (on the car at time of purchase) is missing a small bulb that mounts under the low beam bulb. Does anyone know what this bulb number is so I can replace it?

TIA

Fog lamp bulb on headlamp, not applicable to Xenon lamps, as Fog lamps on now on the bumper. I wonder this too last year.

No question is stupid, not asking the question is.
To get back to the question, as Alex33 replied, when equipped with Xenons the fogs are in the front bumber.

You can put bulbs in there, but the power for the fogs is re-routed to the lower bumper-mounted fogs.

Due to my 99 having crap aftermarket HID kit, the rear cover for my headlights are missing. With that bulb being missing, air and water was getting into my headlamps causing them to fog, fade, and age much faster. I put bulbs in there to seal them up and stop this.

Interesting replies as the driver side bulb is lit with the headlights. Tell me more about this foglamp bulb inside the headlight assembly.
