For which one, LCI or pre LCI?

The bulb size for fogs is 9006

No worries. What year is your car?

pre LCI - the DRL is the highbeams. I don't believe HID can be an option. Maybe changing it to a xenon gas bulb with white color.

LCI - the DRL is angel eyes. Some members have tried HID but without success (I could be wrong). Again you change the bulb (H8 type) to xenon.

I also have pre-CLI and wouldn't mind upgrading my DRL's too. I have Xenon headlights and regular highbeams (DRL's) and fogs - HEY Brabus, can we get a GB together, what do you say John?

The inner beams for these cars will be an H7 bulb which we have in our Xenesis Tru Match bulb sets.
