For the dash. I didn't change. Idk how to remove the dash out and change them. So I just use the original.

From my pic, from left to right.
Left:
1)Fog Light LED (H7) - 2 kinds - one with lens and one without.
I tried both and currently using the lens one.. just brighter .. but thinking change to HID also ...

2)DRL LED bar - they need a sensor in order to work.. Now.. when I turn the car on, it on. after turn off the car, it turns off after 20s.
I used to connect them to the low beam .. but i don think is useful... the first sensor I bought from ebay is not working on my car.. and second one just one side work.. the third finally work.. I think depends on luck.

3)LED panel - different color. I use for footwell light and trunk. bright enough i think.

4)top one with 3 LEDs. license plate light.

5)bottom one with 8 LEDs. main dome light brighter than original one hahaha

6) one with blue head. I use it as rear map light. not useful at all. just for better looking.. cool front map light I use white in case i need to use them

ALL these stuff i get from my friend. He was a ebay seller.. so... I just match what I need and get them from him haha.
But some stuff I need to order from ebay. DRL sensor. They took forever to ship to my home.. hate that.

Hope my description are okay for you guys to read.

Honestly, there are a lot of choices. different shape and color can be DRL.
I like mine because it is bright enough at night. The others seems diffuse out the light and light became weaker.... except using low beam or fog light as DRL

So would these work for the fog lights? Any ideas on how they would look? https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ght/1583/3660/

Then maybe I would do the reverse lights, brake lights, and tail lights. Yay or nay? Thoughts?

A lot of people seem to ignore the door edge lights, I replaced mine with bright white LEDs and clear bulb housings from the footwell lights and they make great puddle lights. Also, does anyone have a source for small LED boards? I'm talking about something like a 5x5mm cree LED on a board with solder points for wires. I've seen lots of loose LEDs that would work, but I'm looking for more of a use-friendly solution. I'm thinking of tossing those crappy bayonet bulbs in the map lights and using a single powerful LED aimed down instead of a bunch of LEDs pointing in every direction.

I think I'm going to try the lights I posted. I didn't forget about the side of the doors I judge didn't think it was necessary to replace, I like the red comes stock in them.

Are there any LEDs that plug directly into the stock fog light housing?

I'm thinking of trying these out and getting a fog light switch that lets me use them at DRL's. I'm just worried that they will burn out very fast.

I use Arduino devices. This helps to program various options.
