DayTime Running Lights = Two Bulbs?
I've been going through a hassle just to understand these lights before I make any purchases. I'm looking to have all my lights turn to 8k. But what kind of bulbs are the Daytime Running Lights? And with my understanding there is a separate bulb for daytime lights, high beams, signals & just your normal low beams right?

DRLs are your high beams = 9005
Low beams: Did your car come stock with HIDs? = D4S. Stock with halogen? You need an H11 HID kit (bulbs + ballasts)

DRL = high beam = 9005.
The other bulb in that area is the parking bulb, it's a small 194/W5W bulb near the high beam.

Kind of budding in here
Jeff: are the stock HID's bi-xenon or single xenon? (older ones and the newer LED strip ones)
Thanks man

They're both bi-xenon (pre and post-LED).
Even when the HID's are in high-beam mode though, the 9005 bulb is also on, giving increased light output.
Feels good man.

How would I know if they are HIDs or Halogen?
