Elliot - they look stunning where did u get yours? Easy to fit?

 

[Alex 17]

Only problem is they look shite when turned off i think

 

[FR_POWER]

i prefer the yellow/white LEDs TBH so u can dim them down to match the colour of the dips.

I would like to install some of these but like Alex said they don't look great when off, would want to fit them flush so they look factory fitted.

yes but it aint as simple as u think!

You would need a reflective housing to make the beam more intensive and bright and aiming forward. You would need a module to turn them off or on or even dim down when the main beams comes on and there is the colour you would need 4300K or 6000k.

Here a video of guy who did it:

LOL! yeah youu go make one on AutoCad! has to be on the fogs, need to get the angles right for the housing!

I was thinking about this tonight, installing LEDs that look like DRLs round the outside of the fog light (inside the glass) and still have the fog in the middle. Might be a little tricky!

they would look like angel eyes! LOL

TBH if you want DRLs just replace the whole Fog lamps to get the DRL Lamp like on the skoda fabia VRS.

Founds something on this forum about DRL fog lamps:

is there not a way of doing it using the fog lights but been able to dim them down so they could be used as day time running lights so that you dont have to add anymore lights to the car itself
