Had time to do mine today I just tapped in to the side lights and used a bolt to the chassis as an earth you can see in the pictures. All wire connections were all sealed with heat shrink or self amalgamated tape.
The side light feed wire is the top row middle connector in the big connector to the head light unit.

I just drilled a small hole in the top of the light unit for the wires to come through then sealed it all up with hot glue..job done... looks good .

Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 Base 7 Seat Manual Zambezi SilverDiscovery 3

I've ordered these as well.

Does anyone know if there's any issues with condensation and if it'll affect the LED's, I'm also quite prone to going through rivers etc?

Any comments appreciated

Prob a stupid question guys but i take that when you do actually have the fog lights on for any period of time that the heat from the fogs doesnt melt the glue

No bud they don't get that hot..

The passenger side wire is red with a black stripe through it and the drivers side was orange and red as far as I can remember.. but the wires are in the same position in the plugs so just do the passenger side one then connect the drivers side to the same pin.

If you connect the earth up then try the red wire from the light on the top row of pins in the main head light connector you will see the LED light up so no need for tester.

Just make sure you dry and clean the glass on the inside of the fog lamp before you put the led in. I forgot on one and it looked dirty when I switched them on so had to remove and clean it ...
