Aftermarket fog lights??

Has anyone successfully added aftermarket fog lights to this car without it looking too cheesy? The stock LED lighting is just up to my standards in foul weather and the new Icon style lights can't be coded to offer anything else in terms of lighting power.

I've contemplated putting a LED light bar behind the center brace on my lightweight lip. Far enough inside that nobody would notice it unless they got eye level with the lip, but insanely bright fog flood light when needed. Wouldn't work for all lip designs though.

US-spec Icon LED cannot be coded to Euro spec like the old ones?

That sucks. I am very satisfied with the performance of my pre-LCI Euro LED lamps.
