SMDs in the fog light housing, Final iteration using 90mm circles of SMD 5050 leds Options

Okay, in my continuing quest to update the incandescent bulbs in our teeners, I changed out the 35 watt bulbs to SMDs in each housing. the cost was minimal of course. I also augmented the light fog grills with "3W White LED Eagle Eye Daytime Running DRL Light Tail Backup Lamp, Stock number# 2XSKU40521" from my my favorite China vendor, Bang good.com. Cost was $5.99 for four of these eagle eyes units; I installed the other pair as daytime running lights on my other car.
.
I cut out some styrofoam discs (from a take out container) and placed the assembly into the fog light lenses, added some wiring, all WITHOUT cutting any of the OEM wiring.
.
check it out, one of the pics shows the driver's side bulb with the 35 watt incandescent, compared to the passenger side with the four SMDs.

the pics are misleading. I had the camera flash off and it looks like a blaze, but in person, you see eight bright dots, of the same color as DRLs that you see on current Audis. I will try to add a better pic later.

Interesting. While you're in there, would you mind measuring and posting the locations of the mounting holes for the fog brackets? I'm working on a backdate and that would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Joe

Sorry Joe, I buttoned up the bumper before I could take measurements. I will do so and report back if I have to do some mods. In the meantime have you checked out Lapwauli's thread on bumper backdating. THe foglites mount on the flat rectangle flats to the left and right of the that train of black plugs on the bottom lip, you see where I marked them in black lines and the holes for the mounts occupy the upper half of the flat stamping
