Differences between DRL and Parking Lights?
I wanted to know what was the difference between them because when I saw pictures on CL, I saw DRL and then a Parking Light and it was from the same place, so I was a little confused on this. What is the difference between them?

06-10 All, 11-12 Halogen:
DRL = High Beam 9005 bulb at 50% wattage (Approximately 37W)
Parking = Small peanut bulb beside the 9005 bulb (5W)
11-12 HID:
DRL = LED strip at full brightness
Parking = LED strip at 50% brightness

on the 11-12 HID lights with the LED stripe, yes the LED serves as both, just difference in brightness.
on all others, the DRL and parking light are physically two different bulbs.
