Aipex I need a little help. I am wanting to get my side marker lights to blink opposite of each other when my lights are on. Do you know how to achieve this? Because it seems that you are not able to do it if you have led bulbs. I currently have leds in the side markers but not in the blinker. If I do this to my side markers I am going to be installing leds in the blinker aswell. Thanks

Good bye LED foglights!
Well, it's been over 2 years since I started this thread and now sadly it's time to say a fond farewell to my LED fog lights...
Instead, I'll be installing what is pictured below. I will do a full DIY write up with pics too.
I also got a couple of 12" white strips which I'll also be doing a little custom DIY with... can anyone guess what it will be?

Quick question, may have already been answered but I'll risk it.
You know how our headlights have those little yellow turn signal bulbs in the corner? Well, I was looking at my car today and was thinking "You know what would look slick? If there was absolutely no yellow visible at all in my headlights!"
So, is there a bulb that appears clear, but glows yellow? Kind of like the "stealth bulbs" that fit our clear corners, so there is no yellowish color? But IN OUR HEADLIGHTS!

So, here's where I installed the ballasts, which is kind of hard to see in the pictures. I wanted to install it on metal, so I cleaned off a spot next to the horn, above the oil cooler and put it there.
I sourced a newer pair of fog housings with the scatter shields still in tact.
Here's with the bulb installed in the housing. The bulb is too long, so you have to bend the scatter shield down slightly to make the bulb fit.
I haven't made it out for a real shoot yet, but here is a quick shot of the fogs on. I actually found that if you aim the fogs as high as possible it will cut a lot of the glare for oncoming traffic. Because you have to bend the scatter shield down, if you aim the housing down also, it exposes the unshielded arc of the bulb to oncoming traffic and makes glare much worse. With the housing aimed up, they are dimmer than the headlights, not offensive to oncoming traffic and throw usable light on the ground.
