Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

it's something they use on the continent, gonna be law here at some stage.
some are just in the headlight unit (like Saab, Volvo) and some are like on the Audis (LED's) in the head light, and some are retro fit and look like universal foglights.
the purpose of all is the same, to make the car more visible during the daylight without dazzling drivers.
Gfalls: 98 model VW Lupo foglights can be made to fit, you could then fit those multi LED bulbs that Bernard got recently for his.
Not sure what the legality of using these in non-foggy weather is. although they go where the foglight would normally be, technically as they're LED's and not filament bulbs, you have a pretty strong argument if they tell you you have your fog lights on.

Just noticed that Merc have followed suit with the high output LED running lights on their new models - similar to Audi. Saw a 09 C Class this morning with the super-brights in the lower fog cluster. They looked OK although not a patch on those present on the A5
