Fog light kit for 10 Series/Monogram

I've searched and searched to find little information. So far, it's either the OEM kit (350$), Spyder, or Diode Dynamics that offers kits for the 10 Series/Monogram cars. Any advice on which kit would be the easiest to install, and which kit I could go without using the switch? I'm leaning towards the Diode Dynamics kit due to the reviews/oem bezel. Anything else I need to order? Thanks for the help guys.

I went with Diode Dynamics because quality and fitment is spot on. I just tapped into my side markers so they come on with my park lights. Install was a breeze. Kit will come with everything you need.

I went with diode dynamics as well. The only reason to spend the extra $100 on OEM is if you want the switch in the cabin.

I went with the Diode Dynamics kit because to me it was closest to OEM without breaking the bank

And FYI - if you want the switch these guys are talking about - it doesn't come with the DD kit but you can buy it separately from @fteightysix which is what I did and it works great

Order OEM bezels from any parts supplier, order Forester glass fog lights (OEM fitment, use glass, not plastic like the FRS ones, exact same other wise), wire yourself. Total cost, under $100 and all OEM
