What size fog light bulb for 2003 TL - Does 9006 = H7?
I am about to order some HID-match fogs from www.hoen-usa.com. They don't have fitiments in 9006, 9007, etc. What is the size of the fog light bulb when it comes to H's?

Also, what high beam bulb do we have? Thanks.

btw, i already searched.

They refer to the bulb base configuration. The fog lights have a 9006 base configuration, or also known as HB4. High beams are 9005.

What about the daytime running lights for Canadian TLs?

As far as I know, the DRL uses the exact same bulbs, except it only sends through a lower wattage than when the actual high beams are activated. But I might be wrong. I don't think there are two bulbs (on each side) in there; just one bulb, double duty.

Yeah, it looks like there is only one bulb. So if I change the highbeams to some like 4000K white halogens, will the DRL look like 4000K lights or will they be more lighter and yellow?

It will look "whiter" than the OEM setup, but it will still be dim, unless you turn the high beams on.

You are correct, there is only 1 bulb. But i think the bulb has 2 contacts, only one of the contacts lights up for the DRL, and both contacts light up when we turn on the highbeams.

Mmm, I believe you're right. I remember reading about that.
