Default Bulb Clarifications

OK, so after searching and reading (too) many threads on this topic, I wanted to make a one-stop thread for the bulb numbers used on our cars.

The stock HID's are D4S
The Fog lights are 9006
The DRL are 9005

Is there a different bulb for the high beams?? Or does the D4S have high beam also??

Please correct any incorrect numbers.

the drl's are actually from the 9005 hi beam bulb. when you activate the hi beams, a shroud cover over the top part of the d4s bulb moves up. kinda hard to explain but the hid's act as bihybrid low/hi beam. so when you flash your hi beams... 9005 bulb lights up and the d4s bulb lights up also. hope that made sense hahah
