LED bulbs and modding

I was changing out a couple of bulbs on my truck the other day and noticed my front turns were horribly faded, like to white instead of amber. After some quick searching I can't seem to find anyone that makes an LED fixture replacement, all I found were bulbs.

So what all have you guys done with LED lighting, maybe with a link to your write-up? Anyone know of any LED assemblies?

Just throw some amber colored incandescent or LED bulbs in there:

That way you get the right color regardless of the color (or lack thereof) of the covering plastic. I also like that in case you break out a lens on the trail and have to drive home, you won't get a ticket for having a white turn signal or brake light.

Below is a red bulb, but same idea for the amber:

I don't mind the idea of using LED bulbs, and I probably will. I was curious if anybody has begun to make replacement fixtures like they use in semis.

eBay has a plethora of full housing kits, I myself am looking to convert but I'm having a hard time deciding if they are to fast and furious for my tastes.
