Default Can't find the LED tail lights I have envisioned - help!

Ok guys, I'm looking at buying new tail lights and I simply cannot find the ones that I want.

To be more specific, this is the style I'd love to have on the back of my blazer.


Should be simple enough to find, right? It's just a grid of lights...

But, of course, they're impossible to locate. The closest thing to this that I can find is:


If anybody knows of where, or how, to look for these, please let me know!

Don't tell me that! Any threads in here with a how to? or even a few pointers? If it's not too difficult, I will most likely pursue this as a little project for myself.

i was looking for the same kinda set and i had no luck finding ANY. i just went with led bulbs from superbrightleds.com. i like the way it came out. but i am going to be buying new lenses soon. the reverse lights on mine are all faded. sorry for the bad news.

Not bad. Are the blinkers flashing fast like some people have complained about?

Also, side note, are all red tail lights illegal? As pictured here
