DRL - Any Suggestions?
Do you mean the small bulbs above the inner, main-beam lamps ?
They are the parking lamps (UK: side lights). They are 5w bulbs with a 5w5 base, as far as I know.
Yep just checked the handbook 5W5.

The bulbs on the top of the inner, high beams are W5W. I used Philips brand bulbs and they work well without throwing codes or flashing on and off. The color is very white which compliments the color of the HID low beams.
I changed the fog lights with Hella Optilux yellow H11 bulbs. Very disappointed with them. The old white bulbs threw a lot more light to the sides of the road than the yellow bulbs.
The high beams are Philips H7 X-treme Vision bulbs. Not sure if they are better because the high beams can't be adjusted separately from the low beams. The high beams are aimed much too low to be effective. Either I have to blind all of the other drivers to aim the high beams properly or be courteous and suffer with poorly aimed high beams.
