Re: Bulbs
The DRL's are T20's and takes about 10 - 15 minutes with a bit of care and a torx screw driver (one in the tool kit)
Unhook the trim around the foglight, be gentle as it can be brittle around the tabs... I broke mine the first time around.
Unscrew the fog lamp/ drl unit and disconnect the wires.
Remove the outer DRL lamp and replace, push it in to the holder
Reverse the above to refit and make a cuppa

Re: Bulbs
This was one of the first mods I did. The LEDs look waaaay better than the horrible yellow factory bulbs. However, I went for the 60W version, as these seem to have about the same brightness as the stock bulbs. I've run them for 6 months now and never been flashed by oncoming motorists.
