Default HIDs

Whats up guys. I was going to buy HIDs for my fogs and low beams but what about the daytime running lights, can i get HIDs for that or do i have to stick with super whites. What is the bulb # for day time running lights(i believe its 126 is that correct?)

day time running light is high beam at 50% power, i wouldn't put hid in it, so stupid. plus hid needs time to heat up, defeat the purpose of high beam sometimes.

high beam is 9005

You can't use HID's for DRL's. HIDs are either on or off, not 50%/100% like halogen DRL's. Also, using HID's for fog's will make your car a moving glare machine when in fog. You won't be able to see a thing in fog. All you will see is a bright white glare. The best thing to do is get some color matched halogens, like Silverstars, for the fog lights or driving lights on your car Don't go with the HID's. You won't be happy.
