Anyways, these LED fog lights were a tough call because there are literally zero pictures of them installed on cars, which made me wonder if anyone in the world has ever bought these.
I took the plunge, because if I didn't like them, I could easily go back to stock. All I'd lose is a little money and a little time.After installing them, I am well pleased by how it came out. These look much better than I thought... both the projector fogs, but even more so the DRL LEDs. I was very worried that it would look like a cheap teenager ricey add-on. It actually looks very clean and updated without being too flashy. There are three LEDs on each fog light in an almost vertical arrangement. I like this because it doesn't mimic any other car manufacturers (at least not noticeably), and doesn't have a million lights on it to dazzle the world with. Unfortunately, I took these pics with an iPhone4 and you can't really tell the detail in the LEDs in the pictures. It just kind of blurs together. I'll try to get better pics. Bottom line, with the car off, the appearance looks almost stock. The projectors are a nice little detail. With the car on, the LEDs look clean and classy, with a nice updated look. No comments on the light output performance on the projector fogs yet. I should have done a before and after shot, but it's too late now.
So, you may be wondering... what about the DRL function when you turn on the headlights. Obviously, that is a big no-no. You don't want the DRL on when you turn on the headlights at night unless you like breaking the law and getting pulled over. I solved this with an SPDT relay. Took some time to route all the wires and hide them for a factory appearance, but this is the only way to go. I also cut the red and white wires from the back of the fog lamp and crimped in an automotive grade wire that has the two wires shielded by a black, flat-shaped, shroud. Much cleaner. Nothing worse than red and white wires routed around your engine bay.
These are images from an online vendor http://www.speedstersource.com but I bought mine off Ebay.
Here are my pics. Like I said, they don't look as detailed as I'd like due to it being an iPhone.
And to prove that I actually wired the relay correctly, here is a pic with the headlights turned on and the DRL automatically switches off.
