LED Reflectors
OK, so following on from yesterdays discussion of LED reflectors for fogs, I took a couple of shots of mine when I got home tonight - not the best photo quality I admit, but good enough. First with brakes off and then with brakes on. As you can see they are every bit as bright, if not slightly brighter, than the brake lights. 
These are the same ones as I posted the eBay item number for on the previous page. 330689901709 to save you looking!

They look smart actually! *Adds to ever growing list* :|
Speaking of which I ordered a few accesories from the dealer today, will I need to remove the front bumper to install the front fog lamp kit or can I do it with the car off the floor?

They're wired into the tailgate loom just after the connector with the main loom. The connector is located behind the rear offside upper quarter trim panel.
I made everything reversable i.e. where I had to cut wires and add splices, every tail has a one way connector on it. Reason being that if needs be I can simply unplug my loom that feeds the LED reflectors and then re-connect the single tails and it's all back to stock again.
As supplied, the LED reflectors are dual 'brightness' as they're really designed to be additional tail and brake lights - 3 wires, tail, brake and common earth. To use as fogs, just disregard the tail light wire and only connect the brake light wire and earth. My conversion also reconfigures the stock fog to second reverse light.
If there's enough interest I would be prepared to do a walk-through with pics etc.

thats a good idea if you don't ind.
I like the idea of them as extra brake/tail lights. Not so much as fog. IMO they wouldn't be bright enough.

If you were going to use them as additional tail/brake lights then wiring them in would be much easier. Just run their cables up to the back of the existing tail/brake lights and tap into appropriate wiring.
