Thank you. They are close, but not touching or they would be facing in the wrong direction as the fog light lenses are angled outwards. The trim with lenses clip off easily to clean the inside so its really not an issue.

It isn't US code, but having them on the high beams-on off in tandem, is far better than having to have them on constantly. While it would be good to have higher power fogs, that's a separate issue for me, and its a toss up for whether dropping the bumpber and finding bulbs fitting those (or all the neat custom work) is worth it. The cost of making custom brakets and buying some small LED driving light with far more potential distance 'reach is probably the same or less.

Not really, it's pretty much very easy to do so I didnt see the need for instruction
I bought the LED here.

and plug into the original turn signal. This will make the turn signal works like OEM.
For the white led to turn on you can have a switch and run the power directly to the battery. However, I'm lazy so I bought this to handle the auto on/off of the light when engine start/stop

When you install this, just make sure to connect the yellow wire (from the auto on/off) to your headlamp or fog + wire to reduce the brightness of the white LED when driving at night.
