Halos and Xenon HID Bulbs

I drive a 2008 Civic EX Coupe and I am considering getting a completely new front lighting system.

I don't really know a lot about this kind of stuff so I thought this was probably the best place I could ask.

I want to get halos for sure, so I picked out these.

06-08 Honda Civic 2Dr Twin Halo LED Projector Headlights - Black

YouTube - Halo Honda Civic Projector Lights 2008

It doesn't come with any bulbs, so I could use my stock bulbs, but I don't really want to. I got the bulb sizes of Sylvania.com.

Low Beam
9006

9006 Intense-White Xenon HID Light Bulbs - (pair) - BH9006HATW

High Beam
9005

9005 Intense-White Xenon HID Light Bulbs - (pair) - BH9005HATW

Fog Lights
H11

H11 Intense-White Xenon HID Light Bulbs - (pair) - BHH11HATW

And then I just have one question. On Sylvania, it says the Parking Light is size 3357LL. I assume the Parking Light is the same thing as Day Time Running lights, but I read somewhere that the Day Time Running bulbs are the same size as the High Beam bulbs. They just use less power and thus are less bright. I'm not sure if this is true. So that kind of conflicts. Which size is it?

If the DTR Lights are the same size as the high beams, thats great and I will get just two sets of those 9005's. But if they are the 3357LL size, I'm not sure I can find halogens for those in which case I will probably just have them unplugged.

I assume I'm not doing anything wrong and this will all work, but I am kinda a dumb ass when it comes to this kind of stuff so I really just need your help/input.
