Just curious if anyone has “upgraded” their lighting if they didn’t get the advanced lighting package. I get that there isn’t really anywhere to put additional lighting without looking odd but would love to know if anyone has.

The cutoff on the standard lighting is pretty excellent. That cutoff is what fog lights are for, harking back to the old sealed beam days.
So in some ways fog lights would be redundant.
I'm not sure that the Advanced Lighting Package (which has been a requirement for any car in the last 20 years) has a better cutoff than the standard issue, but I don't feel the occasional need for fog lights.

I have to pay better attention to the dispersion of light next time I’m out of the city. Given, I’m in an urban environment most of the time so I don’t get to notice the performance.
