In my opinion, these LED lights are designed to be seen not to see.
(0.8 watts x 2 - Current drain = 60ma each.)
Total cost:$16.00
Lights are tapped into existing side markers.
Here are the pics.

Im about to order some LEDs that can only fit in the top rib of the fog lamp cover.

Its face is 18cm wide, and im trying to decide whether to have them facing true forward at the expense of it not following the lines of the black plastic ribbing, or whether they will still be effective angled slightly outward (inline with the ribbing)

What do you think would look better and work better?

It depends on personal preferences.

I replied on your other post.

Im planning on positioning the same as yours. (What width are yours?_

Here is a pic of what it should look like. (mine has the Active Fog lamps also) approx 18cm wide

What do you think? I cant fit it where AsianR350 has his.

Or do you think it is too busy down there?
