Turns out that Adamesh has 3 models of LED fog lights that fit an '07 XK:
1. Fog light only (looks like what old_dawg installed) (35.00 pounds (can't figure out how to make that funny L sign))
2. DRL + fog light (DRL is a circular ring) (149.99 pounds)
3. DRL + fog + assisted cornering (249.99 pounds)
I found that they were selling #2 on eBay (Jaguar XJ XK LED Day Time Running Fog Lights | eBay)
so I bought a set, and they arrived a couple of days ago.
Haven't opened the box yet, and hopefully I'll get a chance to add it to my upgrade work list in a couple weeks.
The fogs light part is apparently a direct plug in for the existing fog light, and then I'll need to figure out, with some help I'm sure, how to get the DRL part connected.

LoudHogRider.
As explained in the thread, I used LED fog lights from Adamesh. They are exact fit replacements but I was never able to find anything like them in the US. So, the price plus shipping is on the high side.
Jaguar XK LED Fog Lamps
Beyond that, the wiring sort of depends on how you want to use them. If all you want is lights that come on with the ignition, it's pretty straight forward. But, as I explained when I started, I wanted the DRLs to come on with ignition, but go off when headlights come on, plus I still want to be able to use them as fog lights. That requires a relay plus trigger. Which is why I suggested to kj07xk that he PM me. That is how I got the most help from "sherbercars" and "WhiteXKR"

I opened the box for the DRL + Fog lights that I received from Adamesh, and see that Adamesh doesn't actually make the lights, they're made in China (of course), and are Vinstar Model V-130017, just incase anyone wants to source them from another seller (another British seller has them at a higher price), or try directly from China via sellers on Alibaba.com, as I didn't see any US based sellers.
I'll let you know how the installation goes, and the results.
