LED rear light

Has anyone already seen rear LED ligths on a third gen camaro?
If so, do you know a link where to find it?

If it does not exist, I'll make it myself.

I'd love to get LED "panels" to replace the rear lights (I mean a panel of LEDs cut to the size of the rectangles in the rear lights). There are LED varients of the bulbs though, but from what I've heard they aren't really any better than a regular bulb.

I've used a LED bulb in my third brake light on my '91s.
A regular bulb melts the lens over time.
Have not seen anything for the tail lights other than using the replacement bulbs.

I've got a third brake light from Custom LED Designs
Pretty nice piece. And doesn't melt anything like my stock light kept doing.

They do and it's less than $10 shipped. Just ordered one for my 89.
