Default 98-00 LED Tails?

I have been thinking of trying to convert my tails to LED. I don't know how hard this would be but I think it would look pretty damn cool. I'm trying to make this as easy as possible and have been looking for a company to make me some LED panel inserts. Haven't had any luck yet though. Does anyone know of a company that does this sort of thing? and would anybody else be interested in something like this?
