This might help. If you search for 12V H3 LED fog, you should be able to get the right ones. Just make sure they are SMD style LEDs. The ones with 26 LEDs on them only just fit in the enclosure.

Ive heard that LED lights are only a legality issue if the cops can see the source of the light. well thats in Perth anyway.

If splicing into a positive and negative wire that are in close proximity like these, you should offset the the splice so that in a worst case scenario what you insulate it with (elecy tape, heat shrink etc) wears thru/falls off it won't be a dead short but has to wear further through the proper insulation of the wires, never should you strip and splice a positive and negative wire in the same place along the loom

I doubt it would be illegal caus all the better VE's (clubsport, maloo etc.) have exact same look as part of the standard light and across the kit's trims, so unless its illegal because its not a standard upgrade from the dealership (which is ricidulous its just a modification like speakers, wheels, chargers, your just upgrading) it would be fine. Thats just my opinion though, dont blame me if you get a ticket, which could be easily talked out of

Good advice on the splicing... I use to have these under my headlights on my VZ here are some Laws from the RTA for NSW.
