I remember my first car, it was a small Fiat Seicento.
The first time it was called in for a vehicle inspection, the mechanic was surprised to see a Seicento with extra lights added, but he agreed with me that it looked pretty cool.
After that I've had a renualt and most recently a 14 year old 2,0 pegeout (of course with extra lights).
I switched from cheap plastic incased extra lights to cheap metal incased extra lights on the peugeot.
