I had a look a bit ago and couldn't see the part no's. Probably a wood for the trees moment... Or just plain laziness

A bit of a basic rule is avoid anthing led for the exterior front lights as they will show up errors on the dis.

The foglights are H11, the sidelights are 501 (W5W).
I thin kthe DRLs are 382 12V 21W jobbies. I seem to recall the bulbs had offset pins but the 382 looks like it has equally spaced pins so best to check this out first.

Just FYI: You can get LED 'canbus' safe bulbs for the sidelights - For the DRL/FOG use the ultra white PIAA bulbs - they are pretty close to the Xenon colours.
I have yet to find totally 'canbus' compliant DRL's/Indicator/Reverse Bulbs and I currently use STD bulbs for these - You can fit LED's but they require specific resistors [AFAIK] for the bulb position and LED type you are fitting to prevent 'bulb' out errors on the DIS
