These were something I was looking at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/9W-LED-Eag...Ds3VPHgXIRGEyQ

Not necessarily from this seller, but 1st one I found to give you an idea.

Quite small but seem to be quite bright, and might in fact (with a suitable hole) fit alongside the existing fog lights on a 75 or ZT

What is the diameter of the fog lamp? Is it around 80mm?
It is an OE fog...just upturned.

Yep, I've had 4 different sets of DRL's using the same relay without problems

I did actually disconnect the fogs from the loom, & used a white led bulb in them with that relay, so they acted as DRL's Fogs aren't on the canbus system

Looks good!

I still like the Angel eye idea - and have confirmed the lamp diameter at 80mm

I'll have a think now and decide what to do. How often do I actually use the fogs? Not often!!!
