This solution is doable, with couple of minor adjustments...
the original AE lights will be shining somewhere, and it will look weird, so the light output needs to be contained, or utilized somewhere... It is just a matter of boxing the lights into some black box or whatever...
For the second part - you do not want to power anything directly from a circuit that was not designed for powering things... find a wire in the ECU box that is hot with ignition, tap into it and wire that tap into a small relay that draws a very minimal amount of amperage I use the one from Radio shack, rated at 37.5mA, and wire the light directly from the battery via the contacts of the relay... I have had this set up in my 4.6 for several years - tapped into some weird wire in the ECU relay box, and that wire was hot with ignition, and would turn off after variable period of time after i turned the car off - i think it was an AC wire, or maybe something else wire...
By using a relay, you are only powering the 37.5mA coil, which can control a direct power from the battery - that is the main purpose of the relay, it is like a lever, using little power to control big power...
As far as for the spare lights - maybe shine them into the kidneys, from inside?
