Output is not very good. Each side is 20 3mm white led's and 5 3mm blue led's. I wasn't going so much for output, but rather a unique lighting addition that can 'tricks' at car shows...

As far as price, pm me with the colors you have in mind and if you want to do anything other than 5 rows of 5. Note that these aren't exactly functional as fog lights...they more or less look cool and can be wired in several different ways like daytime running lights, turn signals, wired to a toggle, strobes, whatever you want.

Yellow is not a problem. If you want you can fit up to 30 led's in each side too.

Sorry for the delay, but here are the updates to my fogs with some of the install pics and what they look like on the car.


The reason for 2 positive connections and 2 negative connections is one set is going to a toggle to turn them on and off, the other set is for a strobe controller that I will add on later.













Sorry for the fuzzy night pictures, my camera pretty much sucks at night. Let me know what you guys think!

^^ that's rather impressive. I was thinkin about doing that initially but i didn't think the LEDs would have that much light output. Looks good.

Thanks...yeah the light output was much more then I expected, although it really doesn't do much. It does look really cool though and turns a lot of heads lol!

The LED's are prewired 3mm, I got them on eBay from a seller in Hong Kong for flippin cheap! These are the same type of LED's that oznium.com sells and garage1217.com, but they sell them at about $1.50 each or so. I got them on eBay for about $10 for 20 LED's, but since I got 40 white and 20 blue, the guy hooked me up and the total was about$25. The wiring and stuff was about another $20 total. So not bad for something unique and custom vs. the price of VRD's...

Very creative, I like it a lot, djrza. I'd also like to see more pics of the behind-the-grille fogs, those look sweet too!

wow that looks awesome!! im diggin the output of those LEDs... not too much and not too little, looks good... ima try to do it on my own... i figure if theyre prewired you just drill the holes in that piece of plastic to get the LEDs to sit flush and then just hot glue it to hell hahaha.... so where did you wire the toggle switch so you can get power???

That's pretty much it...just make sure you aim the lights so they face forward. I wired it to an OEM toggle I got on oznium.com in the OEM location for those toggles. From inside the car, everything looks factory.
