Angel Eyes Alternative

Now that I've had to disconnect my malfunctioning angel eyes, I no longer have front parking lights and won't pass the car registration inspection in Germany. I have thought about alternatives like using the fog lights, installing LED strips, or adding a bulb of some sort into the unused high-beam hole in the lights (my reflector is now painted black, so that may not be a good option any more). But I haven't settled on anything yet.
So, I'm curious - has anyone added back a parking light alternative to the angel eyes for these awesome headlights? I imagine an ideal solution would use the existing angel eye wiring and white connectors, but perhaps not.
Of course, it would be nice to have high-beams to flash when the projectors are off, so that might take up the existing holes in the lights. Perhaps there is a way to use a bulb (H7 LED projector?) for both flashing at a decent/full power level and as a parking light at a lower power.
Any other ideas out there? I appreciate any thoughts or solutions you all may have on this.
