Convert to LED?

I really want LED taillights. Problem is I drive an '08 flareside and there is practically nothing out there LED for flaresides. Is it possible to convert the current OEM tails to LED? Some type of kit you can buy or something?

Thanks

Rob

Stuff like that is what I was talking about..Not just one single diode.

As for a cluster, there was a modification I found once upon a time where the setup was a bunch of LED's on a 4 different boards. I have to research to find what im talking about. I cant even remember what it was called.

Ive never tried it that way before...is there an interface that allows you to navigate the different CD's? Or does it just read the SD as one large CD?

Each genre is in its own folder with each artist having its own folder inside that, then each CD from said artist in its own folder inside that.

LEDs are LEDs, dosent matter who they come from. If you get bulb replacements, be sure they have forward firing and side firing too. If you have the patience, retrofit a chip-board into the housings and seal them back up.
