Default LED Tail Lights!?

can someone please direct me on how to find LED tail lights for a 99 Trans Am? Not the 3rd brake light just the regular left and right ones. Condensation got in my left light and corroded all the reflective in it so it looks way darker than the other one But its a good excuse to look for some aftermarket ones now if only i could find them?!?!?!

You could replace the stock bulbs with 10w LEDs. It would be wayy bright, but they are about $10 a piece from hong kong.

The brightest LED replacement bulbs I've seen are 7W and they cost $25 each. Let me know where I can find 10W LED bulbs (regardless of price). I need some 1157 and 7443 for my Gold Wing.
