Default Anyone make 98-00 LED taillights?

I know this one person in Japan that makes crazy LED stuff and he made a set of 98-00 LED taillights. I tried contacting him a few times but no response for like a month...

So, I started to wonder if I can make these myself. I looked into some LED stuff but doesn't seem too bad. If anyone has ever made a 98-00 LED taillight, please let me know.

Some pics of his work.

Yeah, clear it out and use the same LEDs as the back up lights.

That would be cool if he can make different patterns with the LEDs too.

Theres a lot of LEDs, but I bet they are bright. I think he is on to something. A few adjustments and they could be really cool.
