Default 2012 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring - Fog Light and Parking Light Questions

I have a couple questions regarding the fog lights.

1. Does anyone have the best recommendation on bright white LED replacement bulb for the fog lights?

2. The 2012 CX9 has four options for the head lights.
1.Off. 2.Auto.3.Parking lights On 4.Headlights on

i replaced my halogen parking lights with bright white LED light bulbs and it looks so sweet. But, when my parking lights are on my fog lights will not turn on. I want to be able to drive with my parking lights and my fog lights on at the same time. Does anyone know of a trick to allow the parking lights and fog lights to be on at the same time?

Any input would be much appreciated!!
thanks everyone!!

There is a simple way to have the fogs come on with ignition power.

My write-up: Fog_Lights
Thread from other forum: https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/inde...-on.123685451/
A detailed PDF from the above thread: http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Ma...s/CX9-DRLs.pdf

I did the heated seat method and it works perfectly; fogs go on/off with the ignition. They are still grounded by the headlight switch, so will turn off when the hi-beams are turned on.

You can also tap into the park light circuit instead of the seat circuit if you want the fogs always on with the park lights. There is chatter of this method in the thread above.
