06-09 headlight questions

I picked up a set of 08 headlights for my 04 and I have a couple of questions.

What bulbs go in the yellow and red circles in the photo below?

Does the marker light on the 04 fit into the spot in the yellow circle in the photo below?

I need to find a socket at the junk yard that will fit in the spot in the red circle and the yellow circle if it is different than the 04 marker. Anyone know what other vehicles might use the same sockets, preferably 90s or early 2000s as there are a lot more in our local yards. I picked up a couple from an ford exploder tail that looked like they might work, but they don't quite fit.

What should I use the larger one for, orange or white drl. or something else? My turn signals are in the bumper with the fogs.

DRL and Turn. Seperate bulb, and you'll probably have to buy bulbs, and splice to the 03-05 turn/drl bulbs.
 
Hmmm, I did the same thing. The more I think about it, the more I want to say I bought a new wire harness from toyota for the lights. It has 2 sockets that fit in the 2 spaces you have highlighted in the picture. From there, I had to find a wire harness that connects the purchased harness (which has 3 wires, if I remember correctly) to the car's wire harness (that has 2 wires). That is the harness that you'll find in the old 90's ish corollas. I think I have mine set up with a white and an orange light, or perhaps 2 white lights. I do retain my turn signal in the bumper but have considered tapping the turn signal wire so that they both flash, or even just rerouting so the headlight is my sole turn signal.

Good luck

Does the older marker light not fit in the newer headlight?

For the larger (DRL) I'm trying to find a socket that will fit it and then I will either wire it so it is always on or to a relay so that it is on when the headlights are off, depending on the color of bulb I use.

Do you happen to know what bulb numbers those two use?
