They are really nice. Where did you get the from?

That is exactly correct, however you have to wire the white LEDs to some form of 12 V power. Generally the companies recommend tapping into the parkers and use them as a second parker kind of light.

Yeah the stock parkers are pretty lame, not that they are used much in auto mode the main head lights are either on or off.

Has anyone tried either of these?

I don't think that anybody have used those sort of LED's. I do know that people have used side emitting versions and have placed them on the underside of the lip where the fog lights are.

not trying to hijack your thread, but looking at ordering these:

Shipping is not that friendly for 1 set... so anyone else keen?

They look great.

I replaced the bulb in each of my fog lights with a bright LED bulb - then hardwired in a very simple relay that automatically turns them on when the car in on (they turn off automatically after 8 seconds once the engine is switched off), turn off automatically when the headlights turn on (even with the auto lights) and can be manually turned on/off with the factory VRX fog light switch.

Here is the how-to post

That sounds interesting.

From a technical POV is there any difference between the brightness of fog lights like those on the Lancer and DRL?

Yes – Much brighter & the colour matches the OEM HID headlights (WIN!).
