Default No one has sold tails, as far as I know. Jeff made a set for himself, but I don't believe he ever

sold them.

Default I don't think it can be done without totally hacking apart the light, which most people won't want

to do. I have hacked one up, as seen in the link, and thought about making some LEDs as well. Can't do it until we get in to a house though, which should be around May. All my tools etc are in storage ATM...<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/mcphill/audi_stuff/lighting_systems/rear_light_housing/">Rear Light Autopsy</a></li></ul>

I think to do it right, it would cost around $500 for enough LEDs... That's what I've heard anyway.

$500 could get you well over 1000 LEDs... Don't think it would take that many!

Default Valeo displayed a prototype LED rear tail light at Essen I think

There was a pic of it someone posted a while back. Not sure if they're selling it.
