4runner LED tail lights?

Ok, so I saw a third gen on the road with LED tail lights. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone that makes these for our 4runners. It would seem the logical progression considering how popular they are. I'd buy a set if it was tastefully done.

Ideally it would have an 01-02 style housing, (or very similar in design), with large LED's similar to the G35's or with small LED's in refractory housings like the new Lexus/Mercedes ones. How much harder could it be to manufacture these considering how many made in China "Euro/Altezza," style lights are out there?

Any retrofit designs you folks experimented with? The lgihts on the runner I saw must have been fabricated. It had small LED's on a square panel, maybe a 14 x 6 LED bulb panel... Not great looking... but not bad either.

welll, you would have to find a way to oven out the red housing, and stick individual leds, along with a voltage load controller to power all the leds without blowing them out.
