I mounted mine behind the rear hatch with 3 different patterns. Alternating, flashing together and always on as dust lights.
Need to mount the front ones behind the grill, though.

Where did you get the Ningbo ones ? Do they sell directly ? How was pricing ?

Hi Karsten,
You can get them directly from Ningbo Lite-way car accessories co.,ltd - USD 71 per piece plus shipping cost (USD 80 in my case).
That time I got even a better quote from D&M INTERNATIONAL (H.K) CO.,LTD - USD 54 per piece plus USD 98 shipping plus USD 16 Paypal fee - seems to be fairly the same product range.
I just bargained the Ningbo guy down with that 2nd quote and choosed them because of the bracket mounting which was more applicable to my project. However - D&M INTERNATIONAL (H.K) CO.,LTD have the better cover girl on their page , but about their LEDs I have no live experience.

I guess to fix them behind the grille is difficult - A) because of the limited space - B) because that bloody plastic grille is just light weight and fixed with some bloody clips and the LEDs might be heavy enough to make it collapse while you are driving. Either you fix the LEDs on your front bumper or ask the suppliers for another product option.

Good Luck!

Well, thats right. - Even in good old Germany the cops asked me about the registration of the yellow fog lights of my Toyota Supra front. Though, I had to teach them: The yellow fog lights were the stock ones.

Anyway, in Dubai I can have yellow ones at any car and yellow is much better for fog. That's because of the wide spectrum of colors in a white light which just blurs up your view when refracted in the small water drops.
