Were are you trying to install them? Really anything you like that fits in the opening will work. There is a variety of lights that folks have used over the years.

Fierosound did it this way. Take a look at his website. Fierosound

Check local laws and states near you if drive in them often. Don't trust local and online stores to say anything. Don't trust most people that have them either.
Many states have rules on how there installed, when used and must have Low Beam HL on at same time.
wiring See my Cave, Fog/Driving lights

even then...
Fog On must not "hind" the turn/park bulb when they are on. Fog/Drivings lamps are many times Brighter then turn/park and if you hit someone because others can't see turn is blinking you can have legal problems.
Is why some put fog/drivers lamps in air inlet to radiator. Give you space and a "wall" between different lamp sets so more likely others will see turn blinking.

If the state or cops are very picky... Finding aftermarket fog/drivers that passed DOT rules is harder and often cost more then most units sold everywhere.
quick example: www.truck-lite.com has some that passes DOT and EU rules like 80522 but that's made for large or bigger trucks/vans. Can zoom pictures there and see most labels on lenses like SAE FOG upper left corner and maker's logo/name to give you an idea what to look for.
So Can find them but not at most retail outlets including many auto part stores.

I basically copied what Fierosound did- but had to use a different light setup...HELLA Optilux H71010321......You have to get 90* sidemarker bulb sockets from some car (Can't remember which one (Check Fierosounds writeup)......I wired up some relays to carry the BIG power that the driving lights use...(Possibly you can find some LED replacements for the driving light Halogens)....Also, I found some brighter Yellow bulbs for the turn signal ones(Instead of 194s I used Phillips 921NAs)

To make it work better when using the driving lights, maybe set the relays up to SHUT OFF the driving light on the side you are flashing the turn signal on....It still may not be totally legal but it will make it easier to see the turn signal.
