no, you tap them off of the parking light just below them. The wires are much closer

In case you didn't realise it, the pic you posted does not show J-spec marker lights, it shows the headlights shining through the FTP lenses. The 5W J-spec marker lights are only as bright as the 5W marker lights you already have.

Surely you can find something more useful to spend your money on than 5W lights?

Nope, the J-spec marker lights look different to that even with long exposures. You can see the bulb in the middle.

BTW: I sell two versions of a headlight switch that lets you do that (leave the headlights on with the lights down or then pop them up).

Where could someone buy a set of those? I've done a small amount of looking around but come up with nothing?

It's not a performance thing, I broke off one of mine and the other's faded so I took em off till I can get replacements. It's one of those "to be unique" things.

Nah, you don;t want JDM toilet paper... if there is one thing that america excells at(besides military butt kicking) is stuff for your ***.

There is no subsiture for US toilet paper... it is the best in the world.

on a regular headlight with retractor disconnected, it doesnt have a "peak" in the middle...

Very nice, I'll have to find me a decent pair.

And when I'm done with this, it's time for me to find that JDM toilet paper, this American crap is too soft. It's making my butt soft!

No, the outer lense is the same.

That's either a long-exposure photo or an upgraded bulb and holder, coz the stock ones don't look anything like that.
