I have white LED flood lights mounted into the location where the export model's parking lights are (just to the outside of the fog lights) they work amazingly well! I also have white LED strips mounted inside the brake ducts. they are thin and fit where you can't see them at all when they're off. not as bright as I wanted when they are on but you can see them here:
what you are looking at there is not the fog lights! they are much brighter. those are 1 Watt LED flood lights, one on each side
here's a closeup
I have them wired into the aftermarket approach lights along with the side vent lights so they come on when I unlock the car. they also stay on for 30 seconds after I shut it down. they do not come on with the parking lights, but there's a manual switch to turn them on. they are also wired into my strobe lights so they strobe if the alarm goes off. took lots of diodes to make them do all that without interfering with anything else!
I also have a custom built switch panel where one of the power outlets used to be. its got RCA audio inputs, USB for music, seat heater controls, manual light switches, and a switch to enable/disable the 4 on at once headlight mod.

Well Mike, you've seen my car in person, but I'll add it to thte thread anyway. I feel that I have a unique vert.. has the sweet steet roadster look with the rollbar... but inside you see the 6pt welded bar, race seats, harness, and you cant see too well in this pic but also a black double din console that matches the waterfall and exterior paint. Also kinda unique is the molded front canards.. All the other cool stuff I have is hidden.
