Default Possible 9 led drl mod?

Anyone think it possible to maybe mod this 9led light into the 06-10 head light housing or maybe even the lower portion of the bumper replacing the fogs? These look a lot better than those tacky led stripes...

Anything is possible, but it would take a lot of work/money to make those look like they belong there. I've looked into it some, and IMO unless you're good at fabricating, fiberglass, etc., I wouldn't bother.

Would be pretty interesting/easier with an ISF bumper though.

Yeah, it works well on the IS-F bumper because it has a flatter surface near the fogs on which to mount LED strips/modules. Here's how my friend Rick did it:
