Question Headlight (Front light Mod)

Hi All,
Just purchased a 2010 EX and want to update the lighting and am having a HECK - of a time finding the right lights. I wanted to use:

there are three lights in the headlight box (Circular main headlight)
Middle of light - Running light
Then a Tiny little light? (What is that for?)

I want:
leave main light alone
Replace the running light - Something with a BLUE Hue (Color)
Replace that tiny light with BLUE LED

but - I cannot find the light numbers - or replacement numbers anywhere? Anyone else replaced the two lights? Can you point me to the NUMBERS for replacing them?

Default Anyone know?

I think the running light is a 9005

but - what is that small light? on the top corner? When is that on? What is it's purpose? Can it be a BLUE LED?

the bulb inside the blue projector is the night lights
the other one is the high beams but when there not on it runs at a low W as a drl
the little only turns on when you turn on the headlights at night

so if you wanna get hids make sure u replace the bulbs inside the blue prjector and the little bulb also otherwise you gonna have the blue lights and there gonna look ugly with the yellow little lights
i experienced that before

but i head if you get hids on the high beams you wont have any drl anymore...

The projector beam headlight (low or "dip" light) is H11. The bright light is a 9005, as previously noted. THe little "city light" is the corner of the 9005 high beam reflector housing is a 194 bulb.

I've been looking LEDs as well, and it looks like one with a heat sink built into it is the best choice, especially if you use the high beam much, as the heat from the halogen bulb will damage the LED.

Osram Sylvania has a bulb fitment guide on their website as well as an iPhone app for those so inclined.
