LEDs are bright but don't give off a ton of light, I would look for OEM fogs if I were you, I think you'll get what you pay for.

when looking at an LED, it is bright but it just doesn't project the light well

Yeah I don't think any 5th gens came factory with fogs, but you could retrofit up some OEM fogs from a different vehicle. If you are looking for more visibility, LED's aren't going to cut it. LEDs are cool for looking at, but like trewyn said they don't project well.

they won't be that big on the car though, the ones you posted are a little smaller.

I would look into some square ones that you could put hids or something similar in
