Question about light?
Anyone can explain to me what is low beam and hid and parking light.i still dont understand which light is it and where it located on my car.if someone would point me out on picture.i really apprecial.
Sorry for my english but im looking for replace the light buld .i see another thread theres vled plug and play.i can find in website the sale module and 5000k.my car 09 is.is there any diff size of light bulb for diff year is?

If I'm not mistaken (and I could be totaly wrong), I believe they are all located on the front of the car. When I turn the thingy called a stalk on the left side of my round thingy called a steering wheel, all sorts of illumination appears in the front of the vehicle. Hence.....I think I've figured out where they are located.....
Ok Ill make it easy for you...
1. Go to your car right now and turn the car on, keep your lights off! See those dim yellow lights? Those are your DRLs... (Daytime Run Lights)
2. Now turn your lights on! Those are your LOW BEAMS...
3. When the car is on with the lights on, you also have whats called a PARKING LIGHT which is right next to the DRL and Low Beam light
5. HID is a type of bulb...

To help, here are the front lights on the car.

1. Low-beam headlights (HID bulbs, 4100-4300K)
2. Parking light (small halogen bulb above and to the side of the DRL/high-beam in the reflector housing)
3. Daytime Running Light (DRL) / high-beam headlights (the light that is on in the picture is the DRL, it is the same bulb as your high-beam but at low-power)
4. Fog lights
Which one are you talking about wanting to replace?
I assume you're talking about replacing the DRL. Many people on here do in fact replace their DRLs (which are halogen bulbs, non-HID) with LEDs from companies like VLEDs. This can give you a brighter DRL light with a different non-yellow color (white, blue, purple, etc) but you lose your high-beam functionality.

1) Cosmetics. Many people, including me, believe that pairing 4000-6000K low beams and 3000K fogs is attractive and offers a nice contrast in lighting on the front of the car. It's purely a matter of taste/opinion.
2) Performance. The lower the color temperature, the brighter the output in lumens, so 3000K will be brighter than 6000K - this is why fogs are typically in the 3000K/yellowish color range, because the brightness is greater and therefore more useful in actual fog applications. If you're driving in heavy fog, 3000K will give you better light penetration and brightness (and therefore visibility) than 6000K. However, the vast majority of people (particularly those with 2ISs) rarely if ever experience the need for good foglights and treat them more as an accent/cosmetic light.
