E55 then E63, now back to an E55
When you say parking light are you referring to the other headlight housing, closer to the grill from the normal headlights, the "always running" light when headlights are on, that is the standard yellow halogen -- OR the side amber turn signal reflectors by the wheels? But what the hell is the deal w those lights on by the grill all the time? I absolutely hate them and am almost ready to pull the bulbs out, so I have my two xenon headlights on, and that is all.........
On another note, on all my previous vehicles when the headlights were on AUTO, I could still push button or pull or twist switch to get front & rear fogs to come on, the E requires me to take headlights off AUTO setting, turn to on, then pull & twist -- which means I forget to turn them off (had it happen)....... another frustrating quirk - so now I roll w no fog lights, dammit..........

The city/parking light(located in the high beam housing) and sidemarkers takes a standard 194 bulb.

What kind of xenons did you install? I'm currently using superwhite halogens and want to switch to xenon. But I'm debating if I should buy 2 used OEM xenon headlights from ebay or go with a custom kit I've heard that there are custom kits that can potentially work better, but I'm not sure if it's worth the risk.
