That bulb is part of your PARKING / Running light circuit. It uses a 194 Type bulb.

Your arrow is not clear. If you are pointing to the small bulb, its what I said. If you are referring to the bigger bulb, its what zrzsky said. 9005 is your High Beam or on some model GS's your daytime running lights too at half power.

just throw a polarg m4 in there and call it a day. mine have lasted for years w/out a hiccup. you might get greater output with the led clusters, but those are notorious for blowing out.

the polargs match the oem hids quite nicely. they are slightly dimmer and add a nice accent/contrast.
