Just in case you missed it, look here. It should answer most questions for you and is VERY helpful.

Now, here's a quick summary. If you want the white look for DRL then switch it out with LED but you'll lose high beams. If you change the bulbs to PIAA xtreme whites, they will still be yellow for DRL due to it being on at half power. The parking lights are the ones in the corners, and those only comes on when you are parked. Both of them gives a yellow hue when on. I am not sure what you are asking so I can't really answer your question fully.

Yeah, the 168/194 are for parking/city lights. The 9005s are for DRL. The direct replacements or the module would work. The module is to not have the LEDs at half power since that is not necessary. It gives the LED full power for DRL or high beams if I remember correctly.
