Custom LED Day Time Running Lights/Fog lights (Now with daytime pics!)
EDIT: Fog Light comparison is now posted!
Earlier this week I decided to repair some water damage in my fog lights from a bad seal. In the process I found a set of fog lights that had a better light pattern then the factory light, I modified them to fit in the stock housing. I have always liked the style of the Mercedes DRL/Fog Light LED strip so i decided to do something like it with mine. The factory fog lights have a grove threw the center to flow into the bumper, I used an LED strip in the grove to keep it subtle.

Thanks all for the comments!
I will be posting some more later I tried to do some daytime but with the 6in of snow we have, the glare is horrible and the light isn't very noticeable.

I'm not a fan of the proliferation of the Audi look, as I've taken to calling it. It reminds me of the Altezza craze of ten years ago, where everyone had to have that look. It didn't mean anything after a short while, and then it just looked tacky.
This shows promise, though. I do like the flow with the lines of the bumper, but would want to see what it would look like on a 97+.

Send Me Some 97+ Fog Lights And I'l Do What Ever You Want Me To Do To them. They Would Look Better With Round Then Straight IMO.

I guess it all boils down to what you're willing to do. I'd never do to my sc400 what you did to your's. It just doesn't look stock, yet there's a whole thread of 7 pages that think these strip leds do look stock on the 430.
