I used 3157 LED tower from SuperBrightLEDs.com, but I will say that I wouldn't do that again. It's a very very tight squeeze to get it in there. The flash is a module from Coupe Concepts. Details are in my YouTube description. There's a few more details in this post of my small build thread.

How the socket stay in place? Do you use a glue?

The socket is held to the light housing with an epoxy. The light is a very snug fit in the socket and the tabs hold it. A small amount of silicone is used on the light plug to seal it up and help hold it in place.

Has anybody checked to see if there is OEM wiring in place for the rear fog light, like the front fog lights?

If its there you still need the arm switch and fog relay

I'm getting the EDM stalk that has the rear fog light switch on it. Just curious about wiring.

So is the single 194 bulb a good choice to have the rear fog light up similar to the rear tail lights? I don't want to be brighter.

Wiring is not in place on US models.

Is this verified? Not that I don't believe you, it's just we thought the same thing about the front fog lights. EIther way, I'm going to figure out how to use the stalk to turn on the rear fog light.

No worries, verified, I was hoping I would not have to wire all the way from the front to the rear of the car, so I checked the connector in the trunk. We are missing the 3rd yellow wire for rear fogs found in euro spec cars. So to wire up from the stalk, you would have to run a wire from the front steering stalk fog light to the rear.
