Nobody has really done this but it will require tapping into something for the led's to work since the reflectors have no power. Try ijdmtoy they may have some sets and maybe able to help to get those working.

You would only notice they're not flush if you're looking for it but it also helps that my car is red so it doesn't stand out as much. Also note that changing the driver's side is a PITA and you'll need to remove part of the bumper. All in all I'm happy with them given the price.

Def a pain to install but luckily it's not noticeable on my red car and it's something I really needed for saftey. What hidden LED fog light feature are you referring to?

iJDMtoy is in the development phase of making LED rear bumper reflectors for the GS. The alternative for now would be the eBay ones that you purchased.
Also, what is the hidden LED fog light feature you mentioned?
