These have been on my 'nice to have' list since I got the car.
I haven't seen any drls that I think look good and I really didn't to change the look from original as I think that they can look rather tacky, so I came up with the idea of putting them into the foglamps.
So i got some really bright Cree led H7 bulbs, put them in the bulb holder and into the foglamp and connected them up to come on with ignition live.
The old foglamp bulbs were spliced into the original wiring and ty-rapped to the headlamp washer feed such that they were not touching anything and were pretty solid. This will defeat the bulb failure.

I had worked out a circuit that would turn them off with sidelights using a couple of diodes but for under a tenner I found a device on ebay that will dim them.

All in tooke me a couple of hours, and I can easily revert to the original in fifteen minutes should I need to.
