LED bulbs for DRL's and turn signals

I want to make my own LED DRL’s with integrated amber turn signals. I can figure out the wiring and such but need help on the specific bulbs to use. From what I have seen, I like the Panameria DRL’s and turn signal LED’s. The Audi A8 ones are REALLY nice too. Anyone know the specs on these bulbs? Ie lumens per bulb, volt, watts, white intensity? - any other details?

For the price vs. performance, you'll want to go the SMD route instead of LED's. You will get more lumen's output on SMD's unless you are willing to pay a premium for high end LED's that are used by the OE's.

There are a lot of sellers on ebay selling SMD's

Ok. But which ones compare in output level and color to Audi or Porsche OEM bulbs? That's the difficult question.
