For anyone local, SoCal, I can install it for you if you don't want to get your hands dirty. PM me if you're interested.

The colors don't seem to patch perfectly. Is it just the pictures or do they match up in person?

Yup, fits well. It's hooked up to the drl.

Color wise, they're a bit off. The stock LED has a hint of purple/blue and these fogs are true 6000k white.

Had my fogs installed today! Wired to the headlights. If you are interested in having it connected to the headlights and not your DRL the 2nd and third pic is where you want to tap into.





Bumper off will make the wiring alot easier, but not necessary





Passenger Side





Driverside

Night shot for everyone that wants to see how they look. They do look more 6k, but together with the headlights they look perfectly fine. Brightly annoying, but good for us lol

Awesome photos, it will really help this community with the install. I think I would like to get these now . So does it work like:

1. DRL only
2. Headlight + DRL + Fogs

First off, the fog lights look great. Do you have a dedicated on/off button for your fog lights or do have the stalk? Pics please if you can.

There's no dedicated on/off button as it didn't come with the kit, though I'm sure you can use an aftermarket one and wired it up to work. I just tapped into the DRL per the instructions by iJDMToy. Here are the modes for taping into the DRL.
  • Automatic mode - DRL during the day only, once it gets dark both headlights and fogs come on along with the dimmed DRL.
  • DRL mode - both DRL and fogs are on.
  • Headlight mode - Headlights, fogs, and dimmed DRL are on.

@Jaydemm - I'm just wondering what's the benefit of tapping into the headlight?

There isn't really a benefit to it. Most of the time i always run my DRL during the day and i would hate for my fogs to be on at the same time when its fully bright outside. I feel as if the fogs are should really only be on when the headlights are on. I also had my guy ground the cable to the car just to be safe
