What type of bulb in headlight "city light"

![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Apologies if my terminology is incorrect, but I'm referring to the small bulb inside and at the bottom of the low beam headlight that lights with the parking/marker lights.
On my Moto Guzzi, the manual calls this bulb a "city light".
Anyway, am curious what type/model of bulb this is in the X300?

It looks really good, IMHO anyway. Makes it look more like a Jaguar. I would imagine DOC's car with red city lights would look and sound like the devils own car

Apparently the Sylvanias have a good track record of lasting like a regular bulb. Or course, the Sylvanias are $10-12 a bulb though

yeah the $4 price and 5minutes or less it takes to change them I figured why not, my OEM bulbs still work and there really is no functional use to the city lights I just want the coolness factor of the amber lights, may even pickup some red to go with the color of the car.

Well, the short answer is that on US cars the "city lights" stay on.
But in reality these lights turn out to be the front "parking lights" since our front amber bumper lights are only turn signals. So yes, these small lights in the low beams do stay on with the parking lights and headlights lit.

I actually pulled my low beam lights out and washed the insides - they were so fogged that I didn't realize there was a reflector in there.
