Isn't that the purpose of them? At least they have a switch to turn them on and off (Australian version). Do the European ones stay on all the time?

Looks good..

But I wonder too why you can't use the inners? Just because they are used as fogs and are wired to be on at different times than the usdm cars, is there some reason you can't install led inners? They will still light up when they need to, I don't see the problem?

In Europe it's by law that you have to have foglights on the rear and have to lid them with fog with a view less then 150 feet. So the inners have a 21W bulb in them and a separte switch in the dash to lid the rear foglights.
The inners are not brighter then the outers when lid or do they also work when you aply the brakes.

I can put in the inners but have to swap them for the orginale fogs whem the car has his yearly check and when mr officer stops me and ckecks the car i can get a ticket for that. In the worst case he can take my carpapers from me and take the car to be checked on ALL folds. You don't want that for a set of inners of $80,-.

Erik, thanks for posting up pics!

Haven't you seen my thread where I write in detail how it's done, who's method I've used and how it can be reverted back to OEM fog-setup in a matter of one click? Check it out, you might want to do it! It's in my thread! GL
