I thought hyperflashing was still a problem. Looks like the taillights and turn signals are the same socket so I could try one of my tails in a turn signal position and test it.

I'm considering LED fog lights, but not sure if I'd use them enough to justify the expense.

I'm in a similar position for the map lights. Not sure if it's worth the cost for how little they get used. My old car didn't even have map lights.

I put the 4 high-power led unit in the dome and it's brighter than stock. The cargo light is a 15 hp unit. It's a 360° bulb mounted sideways so half the light goes into the dark recesses. I like your aluminum foil idea.
