LED fog cover DRL
been browsing around i don't believe we have the option at all
so.. i want to modify something to fit to make something similar to the RS model in JAPAN.
I think the fog cover would be perfect area to retro fit a stripe of LED
any body have any idea on type of LED i should look for?
i took measure it's about 5" in length.
or maybe someone have source to get these fog cover from japan?

Trying to retrofit the RS covers may not work. People in the Hyundai Elantra GT forums were trying to do something similar, and they found that Hyundai added structural reinforcement to the front bumper to comply with safety US standards. So, now there is not enough room to add the LEDs that the Euro version has. As Honda also modified the front bumper, it may not be able to fit the JDM LEDs.

I got the 6 inch xb led strip to do something similar on the fog light shrouds. Originally wanted them for my projector retros, but didn't want them to fail once I bake the headlights back in since they have a rep for that. So I'm gonna put them by the fogs just like the JDM ones.

and for LX owner without fog they can keep the round part and use as a regular cover.

I cannot imagine it be hard to wire in the LED to the DRL on the EX cars already so.. Just need a wire diagram.

Oh man those are what I'd prefer. They're not as bright as xb strips but I'd really like the OEM look. Thanks for the link. I wonder if these are true PNP or need some.mods to the usdm bumper.

Ok bad news guys. It was obvious from the start since ebay is notorious for stuff that don't work, but someone had to take it for the team right?
Those ebay stuff do not fit
Oddly enough the led itself can mount onto the USDM bumper no problems. But the shroud is larger than the USDM shroud and because of that, it isn't able to fit itself into the bumper.
I believe the oem USDM shroud can be cut to accommodate the led but I don't have a spare around so I'll hold off on the mod until I get one.

Exactly, but that's what you gotta do sometimes when u have ebay stuff laying around. You know, the stuff also notorious for no returns. Ebay stuff have always been a gamble anyway
