Want to add Foglight Halos

Hi, I want the know the diameter in "mm" that I need for the halos that would fit the housing of the OEM fog light DRL housing. The websites that sell it do not say the diameter in "mm" size of the halos they sell. So I'm on here😊. Thanks in advance guys!
----------
And another question. I have my foglights and demon eyes wired up to the side marker so they can turn on also with the OEM halos. Once I add in the fog light halos I want to put the DRL wire back into action.

But if I wires the DRL into one of the wires powered by the side markers it will turn on the halos (except the OEM) as well as the fog light. Is there any DIY easy switches for when i wire the DRL harness onto the side markers to make only the 2 halos turn on but not the foglight?

So basically, when DRL switch is on in the daytime only the 2 halos should be on. And when I switch it to the 2nd light option, the 2 halos, OEM halos, and foglights should be on. And the third light option everything and the headlight should be on. If there's any DIY way to do that I would appreciate any help.

Bump, I am wondering all of the same questions. The correct LED size in millimeters, and what to do about the normal DRL since the RGB halos will be there

I went with NightOwl so that mine would change colors with my headlight halo's. I do happen to have a set of rings, never used that I bought and they are red SMD. If anyone is interested shoot me a price and I'll sell them to ya.

You can just leave your normal DRL in there...generally most change those out for a whiter led "bulb." I don't ever use my DRLs while driving since I have control over them with my NightOwl kit.

For some reason I thought he was wanting to add halo rings to the DRL housing and somehow it seems to have gotten crossed to the headlights with references to the LED that there and going to a RGB.
Anyway, I'm not sure of the diameter of the SMD rings I have for sale but when I get a chance I'll pull the box and measure them. I know I wanted rings in the DRLs bad, to go with the color changing halos on the headlights.

LOL. Thanks, I think I have enough posts and experience here to know exactly what I'm reading.

80mm is the correct size. Leave the regular DRL in there.
