Hello Accorders,
I always look at Mercedeses and BMW's LED DRL, and I was always looking for something similar to it on eBay, but I cannot find anything in a good quality, or in a reasonable price!
So I started my own research to make my own foglights with parts that I can find from Chinese sellers on eBay.
First, I bought this foglight (LED strip) from a seller in China for: $13.99

There are more options in a cheaper price, but I chose this one because this comes with Amber LEDs for turn signal. I was sure that the LEDs will be very bad and will not work as I want.
So I ordered some 5W 3.6V LEDs from China as well, with a good price for about: $0.60 a piece, I bought 10 by mistake, I should buy 20 for both sides

Third, I disassembled the LED strip, got rid of the old ones, and glued 4 new LEDs to each side and powered it directly with 12V from the headlight. (I'll provide you with a picture when I remove them to install the other 4 LED's later in this week, hopefully)
The results! are not really satisfying to me, but they're not bad at all!
In the daytime inside the garage: (I'll take a picture of them in the daytime in the sunlight when I install 8 LEDs each side, however they look good in the sunlight now!)

at nigh time:

From the side:

I'm sorry for any mistakes that I've made in this thread, but this is my first one, I'll try to make better content in the near future
