I don't know how you got such good shots of your FUNK switch at night, but here's the best one I could muster (while the switch was off):

Output with headlights (those are aftermarket HID projectors, and the camera skewed the color). All light above the cutoff is from the LEDs.

Awesome. Might have to look into some type of LED running light/fog light.

I just used micro mode and they came out well .

It would definitely be easier to go with a pre-made LED module (compared to custom-making one like I did), and there is one available cheap on this forum (if you haven't seen them already):

I did some slight work on one of my pictures and came up with this

Ballin'.

I'm partial to the OEM fogs so would probably use those with some kind of modification, possibly the ones you listed.

How do you like your magnaflow setup?

It's a nice setup, I think. My car had no resonator and some crappy loud muffler when I bought it. Last summer I had the Magnaflow 14815 swapped in, it became slightly quieter/deeper, but ultimately was too loud. Had a mid-range Magnaflow resonator put in a couple months ago. The sound didn't change so much, but the volume did a bit, and the resonance under higher loads dropped a lot. Sometimes I wish it were louder but I still occasionally set off car alarms in parking structures

How did you get the dummy button out to replace it with the Funk button? Radio out and push from behind?

Pretty sure that's exactly what I did. I have an aftermarket radio so it was easier.

Once the trim is off it just pulls off from the front as well.

Just about the easiest part of the installation lol.

Really easy. I pulled the stereo out, reached in behind and pushed with the trim still on, though taking that off wouldn't be hard either.

I've become quite used to just ripping the whole dash apart, including the center console. Doesn't take but 15 minutes and it makes for easy wiring with all the open space.
