So I searched around for this but I still couldn't find the answer so I guess I'll just post a thread. I got LED fogs but now i wanna change the DRLs. I see that there are 2 bulbs in the highbeam/drl section of the light. I have no idea which one is the DRL but it looks like the one on top (parking light?) is that one the drl?

My only question is that if I add LED drls from iJDM (9005) , will I lose my highbeam function?

The top one is the parking light or city light. It isn't the DRL

LEDS for DRLS will lose the functionality of high beam. It will still be available but the output isn't much so you won't notice high beam is on.

So when is the parking light on then? DRL's are when I'm driving but when is the parking light in use?

When your headlight stalk is in the first position (Auto) only your DRLs will come on during the day. Next click (parking light mode) your parking lights and DRLs will be on. Next click (lowbeams on) your lowbeams & parking lights come on (not the DRL).

I've got auto on/off lights with Luxury package, so I don't know if I can turn them on, off manually.

So you guys mean if I replace DRLs with LEDs, I will lose my highbeams? Meaning they are the same blubs?

yup, the drls are just dimly lit highbeams....i just bought lumincs hyper blue bulbs for my 9005 and less for the parking light.
This way, it'll look pure white when I'm driving around and blue when I high beam...not exactly what i was looking for, but better than having nothing when I highbeam lol

^ Good luck with that. I bet you $10 it won't work.

So, if you want brighter DRL, then you will loose high beams? Is there a way to get brighter DRL and keep highbeam function?

^ Well if you want a brighter DRL you can just get a brighter halogen bulb like PIAA Xtreme White or Silverstar Ultra. Then you'll have a slightly brighter DRL and moderately brighter high beam. People replace their DRLs with LEDs, thus sacrificing their dedicated high beam functionality, because they want it to be a different color (usually 6000K).

One of these days I'm going to sit down and make a detailed highbeam/DRL & parking light thread. These questions get asked way to often (i.e. every day).
