Browsing through ebay and I found these:

I just wish the turn signals were LED also.

Who's going to be the 1st to buy/test these out??!!

Risky proposition. I'd rather wait for OEM LED.

I just noticed the difference. I guess the reverse light is the round bulb next to the brake LED's. Looks like it would light up in RED

Maybe not. Look at the turn light it has two bulbs / sections. One is orange and the other is chrome.

White LEDS may show up as White even through a Red glass. I remember reading this on this forum when someone did a DIY LED install into the current tail light.

if the reverse lights are near the turn signals... then i'm out, plus it doesn't look OEM anymore, because look on the side of the tail lights, normally we have one "bump", but on this tail light, it has several...
