Not yet. I have tried numerous avenues and cannot get many answers. Looks like the DRL LEDs will just have to be wired to the parking lights. I am planning on doing if once my headlight retrofit is done since the front bumper will be coming off.

And another $240 in shipping. I'd buy a beater car for the $3200 or take a vacation!

It's probably almost enough for a round trip ticket to Tokyo where you could pick them up yourself. lol At some point, it just becomes insane for a pair of fog lights. That point is around 5-600 bucks. IMHO

You can pick them up used all day for much less, which is what I did. No plans of adding a body kit other than front lip, which frees up cash for other things. Became obsessed with these when I first saw them and had to have them. I agree 100% though that the price is ridiculous, even for a used set.

On some Yahoo Japan auctions I've seen the oem jdm wiring harness for the DRL, and there is actually a button/switch that says "DRL" which is inside the car. What I don't know is if this wiring harness will make the led DRL plug-n-play for USDM cars, or if something still needs to be modified on our cars.

It came with mine. I was able to source the Japanese directions which my mother-in-law could decipher as she is native to Japan. As far as I can tell, the jspec vehicles came with a harness to plug the DRL switch into. I dropped the footwell panel and removed the side trim and do not see the harness. Pretty sure usdm do not have it.

HID portion is plug and play.

Here is the page referencing the switch, although it is probably too small for anyone to read
