Default Lighting questions!!

I have questions.
I want to know the bulb types on our low/high/fog lights.

I found that FOG lights are 9006.

Whats our Low beam and High beam?


Reason why Im asking, cuz on day time driving lights are on automatically (using same bulbs from High beam..??...)

I would love to change it to YELLOW bulbs so the car looks more JDMish like..

but, let me know.

Isn't having yellow lights from the headlight housing a French thing, rather than JDM? I read that France had some regulations in the early 90's that required vehicles to have yellow headlights.

the low beam is H11 if you don't have oem hid. The DRL/high beam is 9005. The DRL already appears yellowish, running at half voltage. Do you really want to have yellow high beams to go with white HID (if you have that)?
