Default LED tail lights

Does anyone know if they make aftermarket LED tail lights, like they have on the new Cadillacs, for the sixth gen Civics??

Just curious, I think they would look kind of sharp.

I've actually been thinking about some kind of replication for this. I'm very interested in making some...

It would be so sweet to have the entire lower half of my taillights as an LED cluster. :naughty:

I just had a wicked thought. Menards had those little battery opp. Christmas lights that were LEDs. I wonder if you could use them as a start?

Well... How would you guys want the LEDs mounted!? At/near the housing itself or... slightly against the lens (Cadillac-style)!? That will determine the quantity of LEDs/resistors... The former will be less than the latter.
Also, will the whole housing consist of LEDs (including reverse lights)!?
