Acura TL Amber lower fog/turn signal idea

Ok, so everyone's see the newest gen TL with the amber running lights right?:



with my FXR projectors, and switch back turn signal projectors (being built buy Andy @ TRS) there will be a lack or amber aside from when the turn signal is on.

So id like to make some sort of amber running light to go on the lower sections of the LS bumper. Not being an opening, i will have to dremel a small hole for the wires, and this also seriously limits my mounting methods.

Basically all I can really think of is silicone/glueing amber led strips down, like this style:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Im open to all options ideas, ill wire them to the signals so ill have the switchback projectors and the amber led strips (lower grille) flash together.

Then the question is where do i add the resistors? do i have to add them for the leds and then seperate ones for the switchbacks?

It's possible that if u wire them together there may be enough juice that u may not need resistors to stop hyper flash. Idk for sure tho
