In this thread I am going to discuss my findings for alternatives for the Mugen CR-Z Aero Illumination Kit on the ZF2 model. This is because I am gathering parts for my own vehicle and want to share it with those who might want to have the full Mugen flair for their build.
Now, what is the Aero Illumination Kit?

On this Mugen RZ, they are the pair of LEDs lit up on either side next to the fog lights. They add no visibility, only a more unique look over those who don't have it equipped. Mugen no longer produces the kit, unfortunately.
It is listed as "完売" which translates to "sold out". Any further inquiries will result in the same answer if you ask Mugen.
However, there is a theoretical solution to this. On Mugen's order page, there is an identical kit sold for the Honda S660 and Honda N-Van. Comparing the parts list on both items, it appears that they are virtually identical. Similar LEDs, hardware, zip ties and harness.
This kit is still available for purchase as of original date of this post.
So, what's the difference? Here is a picture of what's included in the CR-Z Aero Illumination Kit.

And this is the N-Van/S660 Aero Illumination Kit.

Basically, it's just parts bin stuff. It has everything the CR-Z kit includes but with a few extra pieces that we won't be needing. The cost is also the same, so it's really negligible.
Looking at the diagrams, here is how it is wired in the CR-Z.

S660 wiring.

One concern I initially had was that the CR-Z is a bit bigger and the harness might not be long enough. However, noting one point in the instructions for the S660, they depict the extra length bundled up with the included zip ties. Because this kit is meant for two vehicles the harness is already a bit longer than necessary. That is depicted here in the S660 instructions.

To further my point, here is the actual schematic for the CR-Z kit.

And the schematic for the S660.

The wiring schematic is exactly the same between the two cars and kits, and it seems to only be dependent on the location of the fuse. This makes sense because of course both cars have different fuse boxes. Because of this discovery, and the way my current build is going, I'm putting my money where my mouth is and I will be ordering the Mugen front under spoiler along with the aero illumination kit for my own car.

If anyone is interested in buying these parts, please send me a message. I can refer you to someone who can get you quotes and facilitate any orders for these parts directly from Japan.
EDIT: for clarification I am trying to make my posts as detailed as possible. I have seen far too many forum posts with virtually zero helpful information. Case and point:
