Default Fog Lights as DRL

Instead of converting DRL make your fog lights to be DRL. You will not loose high beams and personally think fogs as DRL look sharper. Regular DRLs were turn off by the dealer. Just posted in DIY section. Here are pictures of lights in all modes.

Instead of using HID kit, use LEDs. You can even order switchbacks which are white until you turn the turn signal and become amber. Personally I would stay from HID kits in fogs as I wouldn't be suprised you blinding oncoming traffic. In my conversion in the previous post I have used 730lm 5k LEDs from vleds.

In my case
- Low Beam - already HID so no change

- High Beam - left the factory bulb as want to have high beam capability, BUT have disabled DRL (by dealer)

- Small bulb in the corner of high beam lens (comes on when lights are on), replaced with 194 5k LEDs from vleds.com
http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/minia...21-1-pair.html

Fog lights - replaced with 9006 5k bulb from vleds.com (also converted fogs to by my DRL per earlier post).
http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/drl-f...06-1-pair.html

- Bulbs in the mirrors which shine down with the same 5k 194 as
