You mentioned them here:

How did those LEDs work out? Can't beat $30 shipped!

They look identical to these which are $65 shipped
6000K 120-SMD HID LED H7 Fog Light Bulbs BMW 528i 540i | eBay

All of my lights are currently 100% stock but I'm working on going all HID and LED.

Going Stealth Auto HID from Pelican Parts

Buying $8.50 LED city lights from here:
High Intensity BAX9S LED

based on this thread:
http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-parts-sale-wanted/23853-986-litronic-xenon-headlights-$1-200-a.html

And now I'm looking to replace my fog lights but I must make sure they're as bright as OEM and would like them to match the 6000K Stealth Auto HID kit

Anyone have any suggestions? I've searched the forums for awhile (hence the links to other threads) but I'm still missing a few items
I got a pair of 120 SMD LED's...BUT, they did not fit into the fog light housing by only a millimeter or two! I got these ones. . . . . . .

There are however, the same LED's on ebay, but in a width that's a bit smaller than the ones which I have posted, that SHOULD fit.
I have yet to attempt another order though.

so these LEDs you linked to will not fit our cars because they're too wide? How are they too wide? Can they be dremeled down?

Correct. They did not fit by a millimeter or two.
I assume if you want to go through the hassle of trying to dremel it down, you can. But I'm sure it would be a bit easier just ordering a pair that is a tad less in width than the 2.0 cm.
There are ones with a width of 19mm that might have a better chance in squeezing in the housing. But like I said I have yet to try to order to see if they fit.
the 19mm one's might just do the trick though..
