Question Parking Light vs. HID vs. DRL vs. High Beam???

Ok, I feel like an idiot asking this but I can't figure this out after reading lots of posts.

From what I've figured it the DRLs and the High Beams are the same bulb with different outputs. The HIDs are the low beams. Is that correct? And what are the parking lights for? How do you turn them on?

Thanks

The 2nd one when your turn on your headlight is the parking light. I just installed my
LED parking light but can't really tell due to the brightness of the DRL(High Beam)

So when I have my lights on auto and it's really dark out. What comes on? I know the HIDs (or Halogens) would. But what about the parking light and the DRLs?

And what if it's day time? Would just the DRLs turn on or would the Parking Light too?

when you have yout light on auto, all light come out (DRL, HID/Halogen and parking light)
when u turn ur headlight, to set on auto, u have to turn 3 times. to turn the parking light,
turn once and go out check ur headlight. There should be 2 lights (one DRL, and the other one parking light)
