SMDs in the fog light housing, Final iteration using 90mm circles of SMD 5050 leds Options

Okay, in my continuing quest to update the incandescent bulbs in our teeners, I changed out the 35 watt bulbs to SMDs in each housing. the cost was minimal of course. I also augmented the light fog grills with "3W White LED Eagle Eye Daytime Running DRL Light Tail Backup Lamp, Stock number# 2XSKU40521" from my my favorite China vendor, Bang good.com. Cost was $5.99 for four of these eagle eyes units; I installed the other pair as daytime running lights on my other car.
.
I cut out some styrofoam discs (from a take out container) and placed the assembly into the fog light lenses, added some wiring, all WITHOUT cutting any of the OEM wiring.
.
check it out, one of the pics shows the driver's side bulb with the 35 watt incandescent, compared to the passenger side with the four SMDs.

the pics are misleading. I had the camera flash off and it looks like a blaze, but in person, you see eight bright dots, of the same color as DRLs that you see on current Audis. I will try to add a better pic later.

final iteration for DRLs, using the fog light housings.
so I got this 90mm set of SMD 5050, that has 24 lites for $14 for the pair from eBay
I installed them using that same piece of styrofoam that I used to mount eight of the SMD lites. I just did a swap out and now I really have a set of angel eyes. No I am not trying to be poser to look like a BMW. I just wanted to create a set of lites that will alert motorists of my presence when I come up behind them. I don't think they are annoying.
