I have just changed my front fog lights to LEDs today. Not just fog lights but LED Angel lights as well.
I read carefully that you need to remove the front bumper to change the bulb but I needed to change the complete fitting so started to take off the bumper.
This was getting a bit much so I thought why not just peel back the wheel arch so I did and it works. No need to take off the bumper but do need to take off the front wheels in turn for access. The wheel arch when bent back conveniently tucks in behind the brake disk so ne need to fasten back.
Fog connectors are a straight swap out the Angel lights needed to be wired in parallel with the existing DRLs. I used a blue crimp connector behind the nearside light filling as this was the easiest to get to.
I checked the load at work on 12vdc and the current was 400mA and 500mA respectively and wired in 5a cable. Connected the earth to a local metal body point but not taken a photo of that.

Added the final photos when lit. First with Angel eyes and second with all lights on. A good match and well pleased.
Only been on for 2 hrs and will check later in the week when out and about to see if they dazzle, spread pattern and any blown fuses due to load.
