If one was to use LED H7's for the fogs in this hack, what wattage is recommended? Everything from 50W to 150W is available in the H7 range. I know the halogens are 50W but not sure if the leds would equate to same wattage.

Also I was thinking of replacing my Halogen dims with Led versions. Would 50W be recommended here also? I'm kind of confused as to why 80 & 150W are available so easily.

Hi guys, Has anyone done this hack in the UK, Europe or Australia? Reason I ask is, I just cannot get it to work, I know the fuse and relay location differ from the US.
The relay is in position 24 and the fuse is in position A7 on a UK car.
Any ideas PLEASE...
Regards Carl

It was raining here today so I couldn't go at mine. Are u sure its relay 24? What pin did u tap to?

Is there any relay in position 12? (I know it says USA/Japan) but worth a try.
