I use "parking lights", but I never use "city lights". But yes, that wedge-bulb is the parking lights on the LB. A lot of people swap them out to bright-white LEDs for a better look.

I didn't have my Yaris more the two days before I swapped mine with hyper white "Polarge M4 B1 Hybirds", my favorite 194 bulb. . I just happend to have them on hand because I use them for my other car. They last a very long time (years) shine bright and look fantastic. I also changed the license plate light as it uses the same bulb.

I also have a set of "PIAA H4 Extreme White Plus" HL bulbs that I will install next week to complete the look.

The term "parking lights" originated with the Model T Ford. The headlights were run off of the flywheel magneto and only worked with the engine running, meaning while driving. To provide marker lights warning of a stopped car on the side of the road, people installed battery powered "parking lights" that worked with the engine off.
