Thanks for you reply, do you know of any halo DRL fog lights that won't require any extra wiring? I have fog lights with the top section of the fog light always on and a switch inside the car to turn the rest of the fog light on.
I just installed their V3 kit, lemme tell you exactly what you need to do. Remove bumper. Move OEM plastic fog housing rings to new housings. Attach to bumper. Connect pigtail from Vinstar housings to pigtail connector coming from LED control box. Re-install your H8 fog bulbs (they will need a bit of force since the opening is a bit smaller). Find passenger DRL bulb socket that went into the OLD fog housing. Strip a small bit of casing on the white and blue striped wire (ACC power) and the brown wire (Ground). Use the splice modules included in the kit to connect the LED control box red wire to the blue and white striped wire and the black wire to the brown wire. The splices are super easy to do. Connect bump back up, turn on car, when you turn on accessory power for the lights the Halos will illuminate. Took me about hour and a half.

Did you have any error codes or overload on that circuit, instruction are vague but advise to wire straigt from the ACC on the fuse box. Im just about to instal but dont want to melt wires. Im presuming there is just 6 parking lights on this circuit to begin with at 5 w each (30w in total) or is there more. As you lose 10W by losing the old bulbs and add 13w, I doubt it makes a diffrence.
I run the sibling to these with the exposed LED ring. No issue with bulb warnings or over-currenting the wiring.
In fact, I also ditched the stock fog bulbs and instead am running Morimoto HID conversions at 55w each with no wiring issues.
Thanks for the response. Those look awesome, and so does the car! My 2012 R56 never came with fog lights from the factory, so i'm looking at way to get light to the fog light too, not the Halo.
This is what I had in mind, and seems the easiest way to use them. I was thinking of buy some cheap $20 H11 LED lamps of Amazon, with a 9W rating each, and wiring them to the high beam. At the moment the low beams are always on as DRL's along with the parking lights.
What would be the best way to wire these up? I want to avoid modules and switches etc, and just have them come on with the high beams, could I just use wire splice connectors to the positive feed of the high beam, or would i better off going back to the fuse box and using a relay.
Thanks...? Never understood blind loyalty like this when the link shows Aaron doesn't even have them in stock and they are twice the price.
I didn’t look at the stock status, and was just providing an option. Pretty sure all the different kits are made by the same Chinese factory anyway. Sometimes, I prefer to purchase from a reputable shop that offers a good return policy or warranty.

Could you elaborate on this. Did you connect DLR wires to only one bulb wires? What about the second socket, is hanging empty?

Also, does it work when u unlock the car? I meant that "light ur way home" function which works wit standard lights ?
