Headlights' small bulbs

Hello, first of all sorry if this topic has been discussed before. Tried to search but couldn't find nothing.

There are the big HID and the small halogen one inside our headlight correct? I'm thinking to change the smaller one into similar color as my HID. Does anyone know how to replace it and what bulb size is it?

I came across this bulb list thread: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/2004-mazda-rx-8-bulb-code-list-25466/
but which one is the one for the small one?

Many thanks

a 194 bulb is what you seek.
these bulbs from www.vleds.com work very well: http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481

No sir Jedi, this padawan has yet to do that thing.

Any recommendation? I thought regular halogen fogs are the safest... correct me if I'm wrong.

halogen bulbs work great there, you just might want to look into something that will closer resemble your HID's and your new led parking lights.

Here's what I got from www.hoen-usa.com

Hey Jedi.. I'm soon to be ordering the Polarg bulbs for the fogs... any difference between the Hoen and the Polarg? Those Polarg's are pretty darn white.. i've got them ready to go for my parking and turn signals.

Sorry I was semi-distracted when typing this earlier. One of the other users on here has the Polarg Shining Wizards H11 bulbs for the fogs and says its pretty close to a 5000K-6000K bulb. Do the Hoen's have a blueish tint to them or are they pretty flat white? I'm looking for something similar to my HID 6000K bulbs without having to do the HID conversion yet as all my money is currently going to the metra kit and nav system install..

Here are some pics of his fogs..
