LED Foglights & Parking Lights

LED Foglights & Parking Lights
I ordered 100 8000k white LEDs last week and should arrive in a few days. On the 06 & 07 accord there is a cut out in the front bumper for fog lights, which has a plastic piece in it. This piece has three ridges and I am going to have a line of LEDs in each ridge. I really don't like the look of the OEM fog lights and I hope this will actually look better. My idea for the parking lights has been in my head for a few months now, I just couldn't figure out how to pull it off. I want to keep the turn signal yellow for legal reasons but change the parking light to white. The main reason I want to do this instead of just changing the parking light/turning signal bulb to white is because here in Miami the cops pull people over all the time for illegal turn signals . My plan is to put LEDs around the stock parking light/turn signal bulb. Then only have the LEDs come on with the headlights, and the bulb only come on with the turn signal. I am going to do this my tapping into the harness before it goes into the engine compartment, there is a separate wire for the parking lights and turn signals. So I hope if I disconnect that parking light wire the yellow bulb won't come on unless I put the turn signals on. So what do you guys think?

RE: LED Foglights & Parking Lights
That is pretty much what I want to do, minus the LEDs on that yellow part. I'm going to try and take that out of the headlight. Honeslty you could learn to solder these LEDs, its very basic and easy soldering. Theres a ton of tutrorials online, I taught my self how to solder modding xboxs when I was 16. If there is enough people who want stuff like this I would be able to do it for them. I've already changed all my interior lights to LEDs, next I am going to change out the LEDs from the A/C controls with blue ones. I don't think I am going to mess with the LEDs on the guage cluster. I can solder SMD LEDs, but there is still a chance I'll burn a trace.
