Default True LED taillights?

Does anyone offer true full-LED taillights for 4th gen Camaros?

If not, is that type of thing hard to fabricate?

I'm tired of my taillights, and have a few custom designs in mind.

Thanks!

Ebay has some full L.E.D. taillights that are new on there. They are not converted lamps they look different from the factory. They are all red. You will find them on there if you look.

They are 10mm. 87 of them. The board is made of Formica (flexible and structurally pretty strong.) I measured everything out, and cut the formica accordingly, then laid out the diagram and drilled away. I had to cut the lens off the tail lights with a dremel and some cutting discs. (I tried the whistler mod way via the oven, but only ended up mangling one lens beyond reason and having to get another.) Once apart, I slid the finished led board into the tail light, and siliconed everything back together.

I also modified the bulb bases after taking off the filament and glass to light up the tail lights how and when I wanted:


As for the ones on eBay, I'm not a fan of the styling. With a thick coat of Niteshades, they could look decent, but I personally really like the way mine are laid out from parking lamps to brake/blinker. They are certainly on to something, but I think an OEM style lens would go over better with the enthusiasts.
