I made my own this winter, was not all that hard to do. Got new Depos off ebay for $50, 2 water proof leds 24" for $4. Found some information here and on Youtube on how to do it. Baked one for 25-35 min at 210 deg. Used a butter knife and a flat blade screw driver to break it open. Started on one corner and worked my way around. If it felt like it was not moving I baked it for a few more minutes. 
After it cooled I measured and cut the LED to size, you can cut at every 3rd light. Placed the light in the light and found I had to grind out with a Dermil tool about 8" of the black plastic and drill a small hole.
Set the light in with clear silcone and held with tape until set, I left it over night. In the morning I silconed the pieces together and let sit. Next morning they were ready to install.
I use them as my driving lights. Ran the power wire back to fuse 22 space in the foot well, so it powers on when I start and is off when I shut down. Liked them so much I had to buy Halos for the rear and then I went LED all over the car.

If you want, you can just pull the fuse for the DRLs.
My bad JW, I had only looked at the link supplies in one of the replies above. I would really like a set of the clear corners with the LEDs. If I am nor mistaken, the LEDs work as the drl correct? I personally despise that I have no choice to turn off the drl but if they were only LEDs like these I could live with them!

So far I've been installing the LEDs from the backside to make sure the factory weather seal is not disturbed.
