Has anyone had any luck installing these fog light DRL/LED kits:
https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
I've ordered a pair and will be installing soon. I'm hoping someone has done this and possibly documented it so that I can follow the installation. If you have please let me know any tips... Otherwise please let me know if you are interested in me documenting and posting

So after the install I thought a quick write up would be helpful for others.
The steps are as follows:
1. Undo the screws for the fog lights under the body
2. Pop off the existing fog light covers, you can use your hands to push the plastic from behind OR use a small screw driver to pry from the front (be careful not to scratch your paint). I used a combo of the 2
3. Push the cables for the LEDs behind the fog light
4. Push in the led cover, it should snap into place
5. run the cables from the fusebox to the LEDs - i run it via the existing cable loom across the radiator
6. connect the cables behind the fog lights
7. Connect to fuse box (it connects to the only 10amp fuse in the box), Don't forget the earth wire needs to be connected just above the fuse box
8. Mount the led driver - I mounted it next to the fuse box
9. Test - turn on the car and they should turn on and off with the car
10. Re-do the screws under the car and you are done
Pics:
These are the screws you need to undo and just show your hand up there
You need to somehow squeexe the cable/connector for the LED into the gaps that surround the fog light, This took me a very long time - eventually it wriggled it into place
Connect into the 10amp fuse, 4th from the bottom (based on my Aus version Maxx Sport cx-5)
Test
Note, I haven't connected it so that it dims with the indicators and headlamps. If anyone knows how to do this please send me photos so that I can add it onto this post
For those who can read german (I cannot). There is also a handy guide on the german forum
