328 LED driving light bulbs?

Well fog lights aren't supposed to be bright but if you want to use them as DRL's they're probably still okay. I mean, people are gonna see them even in the daylight. As for LED's sure you can get bright ones but in my opinion they are too bright, some of them ridiculously so. Take, for example, your typical police car or emergency vehicle nowadays. The lights are so bright and so numerous as to be bordering on ludicrous. The idea is to be seen and noticed, not to be so bright they blind people and you can't even actually look at them. Also, by installing bright LED's you'll ruin the fog light function.

But yes you can get them. Just find out what incandescent bulb is in there and go online, they have all sorts of inexpensive plug and play options that will work.

 

I've wired my flash-to-pass lights to stay on as DRL/fogs - which has no dash "on" warning... can't remember how many times I've left the damned things on after exiting the car.

 

Just a thought: Using a relay and switching them on/off via ignition on/off (?)

I've thought about it, as well as utilizing one of the unused warning lights on the dash (on the Euro, one of the 4 seems to do nothing.) But it just amounts of lack of motivation. One of those "Well, at least they work. Best to leave well-enough alone" sort of things...

 

If they have their own fuse all you need to do is remove and cap the source input and jumper a new input from the hot side of the switched bus. Then they will only work when the ignition is on.

I agree with you on the DRL use. I have a 308 so no fog lights and my solution was to do the wire mod that keeps the headlight buckets down when the parking lights are turned on then I installed the two-tone lenses and put in LED bulbs so they can be seen in the daylight. I'm trying to figure out now if I can get them to work as flash-to-pass lights although here in the states, nobody flashes to pass. They just pass on whatever side they want to without warning, land of the free and all...

 

Yes. The upper right yellow one. The manual says 'spare indicator'.

That's the warm-up light on US cars.

I just did this not too long ago. After I did my Euro front conversion, I bought this wiring harness kit for my flash to pass from Harbor Freight, it comes with a relay, switch (lighted when turn on), and fuse all wired in and ready to go. The length are more than enough to reroute it through and around the car. I installed the switch under the dash. Switch shows with it on and off.

 

I repurposed the antenna switch, which was sitting disconnected and abandoned without purpose...now it's happily controlling fog lights and the garage door.
