Here are some online shops
Hello. Speaking of DTRL, are you referring to the parking lights? (Those dim lights that are located in the highbeam well?) The bulb is 194/195 type. I purchased mine from Racing Lab . There are countless brands of hyperwhites out there, some are conventional, and others LEDs. In general, the LEDs just sound cool, but w/ really weak performance. It does not illuminate much at all, despite the false ads saying that it burns 2x as bright as conventional bulbs. Anyways, you can find x^n type 194/195 bulbs on EBAY, they run cheap.

so any bulb w/the part #194/195 will work for our parking/city light? its those dim light that lights up next to the low beam. since i have bi-xenon so its not that noticeable. but you can still tell that theres a white/yellow bulb that is there illuminating.

Fog light
I posted a brief instruction regarding to the installation of HID replacement fog lights a while ago. It's basically the same idea, if you just wanted to swap bulbs. No matter what, you'll need to access the fog lights from the front tire well. Unscrew like 4-6 screws, and semi-remove the front mud guard.

yea... sorrie if i sound confusing.
thanks for the part #. i'll get some PIAAs also!
btw... do you know the part # for the side marker?? where its amber? i am debating on if i should change to clear or paint it silver? if the bulb can be changed to white... then might as well just change it to clear.
