Default Just installed Slim HID Kit ...Nice! Plus addn'l light questions

The kit went in pretty smoothly into my '05 C230K. I did have to make some modifications to the base of each bulb - but nothing too major. The HID lights look really great and are sooooo superior for night driving. Best money I have spent on a modification in a while.

QUESTIONS:

Now my 'daytime running lamps' and fog lamps look really yellow!!! LOL! You can't win! I would like to find out which bulbs I need in order to replace the stock bulbs with 'whiter' lighting bulbs. I see they are offered in the K1 online catalogue but I need to know which ones to order:
[ol][*]Daytime running lamps (are these 194/168?)[*]Fog Lamps (I believe these are H7 or 9006?)[*]Turn signal bulbs (chrome vs amber). Are these the 1156 or 1157? and why are there two turn lights in each side also?[/ol]
Once again - could not be more pleased with the result of the Slim-HID Kit!!! Money very well spent.

Thanks for the bulb info - I'll post the pictures.

I posted a question in the C-Class forum on how to change the Daytime Running Lights that you guys might know the answer to? Can those little 168/194 suckers be removed from the rear of the headlight housing (like the low and high beam bulbs) or do you have to drop out the headlight assembly or clear cover somehow to get at them? I have tried twisting and tugging at them but haven't been able to get them to budge at all....

All bulbs are accessible from the back without removing the headlamps.
