If any of you guys want to replace existing Day Running Lights (DRL) 1157 tungsten-filamen bulbs on your Peugeot 308 turbo with anything similar to THESE LEDs ... forget it. Dont waste your time and money. Do not buy!
1157 LED conversion light bulbs similar to THESE are not durable to be used as DRL on your Peugeot 308 Turbos.
So far I had tested SIX different sets of 1157 LEDs...
... and ALL of them kaput with at least one LED burned within one week of usage! I even assembled em by myself. Click HERE to see how I did. 
Probably those LEDs can be used at full brightness for short duration such as turn-indicator and brake lights only - not for extended use like the DRLs. Special LEDs and electronic circuitry are required for extended use at full brightness. It was very difficult and expensive to buy aftermarket Audi-like LED DRL before y2010.
Fortunately, as a result of European Union Directive coming into force on the Feb 7th 2011 all new passenger cars and small delivery vans throughout the EU will have to come equipped with daytime running lights. Since then, the right LED arrays for DRLs could be found easily at reasonable price.
Click HERE to find which one is suitable for you. I prefer W212-like LED arrays. By installing them upside down, the LED arrays match and flow with the curves on the front part of the 308...
These new DRL LED arrays are a lot brighter than the super bright 1157 LEDs.
At the moment I use both - to compare their durability.
