The are not on all the time, they come on with the parking lights.
They are the same sockets that the OEM lights are.

One thing I did notice.
The side marker light switch (Pull out turn left on the light switch) also lights he DRL white LED light.
Each side comes on with the side marker lights on each which one you select.
Not like I use that switch...

they all look great guys, thanks for all the pics and reviews. picking up a set early next year.

so to clarify, you guys are putting HID kits in for the fogs, headlights and high beams? And there's definately enough room for 3x ballasts behind each headlight housing?

Thanks

SoK:
Each light requires (2) H1 bulbs and (1) H7.
You can reuse your H7 out of the old light if not going the HID route.
geetee elected to do HID kits on his.

I went with Sylvania SilverStar H1 4000K bulbs for both the high & low beams, and just reused the H7.

I may go HID later, but they are pretty bright now and a great distance ahead of the car. Combined with the H7 fog light they light up the road big time..

Hope that helps

I have HID's in my headlights now, just need to find some good LED's or something bright and white for the fogs and i'm OK with using the same old h7's in my brights, i don't use them very often.
