Would it be possible for you to snap a couple photos of where you installed the wiring and/or describe how it is wired?
Thanks!

I'll do my best. I'm no @Saker or @Antman ! Basically the kit comes with two fog light covers with LEDs installed and wired ready for attaching harness.
Removing fender liner screws towards front end. Three screws on top two on bottom. Carefully unclip tabs for fog light cover. Remove and insert aidanjames led.

This is where I wondered if I could have this job easier. I attached the leads from fog light cover to aidanjames wire harness after I installed covers. In hindsight I would have added an extension to each lead so I could solder properly as there is not a lot of room to work behind bumper.

Once both sides are wired in remove cover of small box behind drivers side fuse box.
This box is tricky since it is held by four release tabs. Just take your time and pull gently. It will eventually give. I attached the harness with a 3m quick connect and then tucked into fuse box.

Attach ground wire to body ground strap next to fuse box.

That's it. LEDs turn on only with key. I love the look and it flows nicely with front end.

First, thanks for the kudo's and the write-up.
I am thinking I would like to put those on a switch so they would come on only with the ignition on and the switch depressed. I could have them on at will because sometimes I would not want them on at all.
I guess I will have to contact Aiden James Customs to get amp draw to see if I need a relay....if I decide to do this mod!

They did say they could wire other ways. The harness has an adjustable voltage regulator needed to ensure proper led operation.

Aiden James Customs has updated their LED strip to the modern LED tube from the previous design of individual LEDs. They also now offer Switchback: White DRL (on with the ignition on)/Amber switchback (Amber LED's blink with the turn signals).

I really like the new design, much sleeker! Just don't know if I want to spend $229 for it though

I'm surprised more people haven't added this LED strip (old or new version) considering how everyone loves more lights!

I think if I go with 55k rather than the philips 43k it would look a little cleaner.
