LEDs installed yesterday. The install went smoothly, with thanks to Vaio23 for providing some install tips, especially the warning about being careful when drilling the holes in the passenger side grill. The coolant tank is about an inch behind the grill, so the warning likely saved me from some unfavorable surprises. I held off on wiring the independent fog/LED option, thought I'd determine first if I wanted LEDs to switch off when fogs come on, or not. Overall very pleased with the look, nice and subtle, not overbearing. Here's a pic:

Wondering if anyone, including OP, has had any issues with their LED copy? After installation they worked fine for about six months, then they went out. I verified that the relay box was bad, so I ordered another off eBay. Worked fine for about a month, then it went out, too!

Anyone else having issues? Any suggestions? Maybe I need to purchase a higher end relay?

Those are ebay LED lights. I had bought a pair for like $3 too fool around with it a long while back. When I spliced open the wires I noticed that the gauge wire was really really small and to top it off they used toilet paper as an insulator of some sort! Thats a huge fire hazard! You're best bet is to make those LED lights yourself. Let me know if you need help.

Here is what my LED bulbs look like. Those large resistors are a must have for the power output.

I'm very impressed with how good these look. I wish I could buy a set to fit my non-sport bumper.
