JDM gets my vote.
I also don't like the surround on the UKDM, and feel the JDM ones look a better match.

Of course instead of either of these ideas you could use my idea and put Mercedes style front Daytime Running Lights in. They fit very nicely in the cover vent grilles

I'll stick some pictures up as soon as i move the car away from the wall so i can take some of the front.

I personally thing the UKDM ones look a little bit Halfords.
The JDM look much more OEM, though I think it looks best without front fogs at all.

Daytime running lights (permanant sidlights) look silly on cars that have sidelights.

I don't think the gimp mask does any favours for the round spots and I would have said the round look aftermark for sure as they just don't go with the rest of the styling like the JDM ones do. Having seen Donald's picture though, the rounds win me over... Though not because of his analogy

... And as Iain says, I think they'd only work on a black lude. Maybe it's just a case the bezels have to be colour-matched to the rest of the car

Defo JDM the other ones look home made and out of place imo

I had definitely not considered the colour matching, but I didn't need to so I guess that's why.

I think if I didn't had a black lude I would be more drawn towards the JDM ones, although the UK ones I've seen in the red 5Gs (Cassis?) do look alright.

I have said before though that there's already a lot of light area on the front of the 5G and I'm sure the 4th genners will agree

so for me increasing that with the larger JDM fogs is questionable.

That all said, I think the JDM ones look better on a lighter coloured car than a darker one, for example I prefer them on mills' to nitin's.

Are the OEM JDM ones (so not the cheap eBay ones) glass or plastic lenses?
