Advice needed: Adding LED Driving lights

Not sure if this is the best place to post this but here goes:I have a 2015 JCW 3 door and am looking for a set of LED driving lights that are incorporated in to the lower bumper corners.

Having a hard time finding a source for these and instructions for installing them.. Any suggestions, advice and experiences would be appreciated.

I thought the reason the JCW did not come with the "fog" lights in the bumper is because of the extra cooling radiators down there?

If it was my car, I would add a couple of driving lights up by the grill.

LED Driving Lights

Appreciate the suggestion on adding different lights yet I am not keen on doing stuff that appeared to be "added on".

Has anyone fitted LED lights into the spaces indicated in the pic without running into issues with the oil cooler? I'm an older guy and while not a sedate driver, I won't be doing any track days or pushing this car to it's limits.

I imagine you could get the mounting pieces from the S model aero bumper, along with a set of aftermarket fog lights, and see if they will all fit back there... Can't say that I've seen anyone do that yet.
