LED Driving Lights on a pre-facelift W211?

Guys,
Any one experimented with fitting LED DRL's to their 2002-2006 W211's?
The only place I could possible think of putting them would be on the faux grills, inboard of the fog lights.. but the length would need to be only about 4-4.5" and about 1" tall.
Won't they look really daft if they were very short strips?

Just want the old lady to look a bit "fresh"..

99.9% of all LED strips I've seen installed aftermarket have looked horrible. Don't attempt to be a car you're not IMO. SMD LED the parking lights, etc... to give an updated look.
