Your High Beams are 9005 Bulb Type.

You could go with HID High Beams, but for DRL's they would be too bright I think. Also, the response time for flashing people is slower than a halogen bulb.

I think you would like this better:

And then you can purchase new Bulbs for your Low Beams and Foglights.

Foglight: 9006 type
3000K HID kit would look nice.

Low Beam: (If you have HID) D4S Type
6000K HID kit would look nice.

If you use LEDs, you lose the highbeam function. There is a kit that enables HIDs to be run as your DRLs with no problems though. I just forgot where I saw it thats all -.-"
