Day time light??

Day time light??
I would search for this, but I have no idea what the name of it is. on the 04-06 TL's there are three lights in front headlights. The Turn signals, the high beams/lowbeams, and then the lights closest to the grill, which are ???? are they fog lights? daytime running lights? I'm asking because I hate that yellow pi$$ color and I want to swap them out (I'm getting the headlights cleared soon, getting the switchback as well, and I hate yellow) .
Does anyone know what bulb fits in there??? any hyperlinks would be great. and if you have a link to V-LEDS.com then that's even better because that's where I'm going to get the bulb from.
Thanks!

Those are the fog lights. You cannot put LEDs where a regular halogen bulb goes.
You'll need 9006 bulbs if you want to replace those. I just got some cheap ass ones off of eBay. Similar to these:

Here's what they look like on my car:
Sorry for the shitty iPhone picture. I'll take a picture with my D60 this afternoon if you want.

completely wrong INFO in this thread:
you can put anything that is 9006 out there !!!
1> 9006 LEDS
2> 9006 Halogen Bulbs
3> 9006 HID (you will need a HID kit for this)
check this link out for more info:

yes on 04-06 US models they are FOGS and on 07-08 models they are DRL's. But regardless there is a relay available to switch them around as you want them !!!
stock bulbs are 4300K (white with a hint of blue) !!! Lemme take some pix of my car with LED fogs and put em up !!!

I installed the DRL module on my 06 fogs. Works very well. Got it from Autobarn---search for "Daytime Running Lights". Chuck the wiretaps they send with the kit and either solder or buy good taps.
You should not use HIDs as DRLs---the relay only supplies 75% power to the DRLs (thus making them DRLs) which may mess with the ballasts. I have no experience with this, but read it in one of the numerous threads on this topic (Search is your friend).
Swoosh, thanks for clearing up the inaccurate info (CL, you should know better!)
I currently run 9006 Nokya Yellows in my fogs, with 5000K HID Accord fogs in the lower grille (also 9006). Obviously, you want something cleaner. The Nokya Arctic Whites were the closest I found to matching the OEM headlights as a "PnP" solution. However, you should note that these bulbs are Stage 2 55W bulbs and you run the risk of frying wires if you run them. You can always install a relay with heavier gauge wiring, but at that point, you might as well ditch the whole DRL thing and install HIDs.
JnC recommends SilverStar Ultras, but I found them to be unsatisfactory and they looked a lot like the pics posted above by CLtotheTL.
Remember that these housings were not designed for HIDs and will throw out a lot of glare.
One final note--you may see these bulbs advertised as "H11". They are one and the same and can be used interchangeably in this application.

You definitely need a ballast with that. You can get a entire set on ebay for like $50 (cheap quality) or a better one for like $150 and up..
