Can you make LED taillights by inserting an LED?
Hey guys. I didn't get the OEM LED Taillights. Are you able to take the standard taillights and insert a bulb on the reverse light in order to make it look like the LED design on the OEM LEDs. Thanks.

The LEDs I want are more for the purpose of getting the design inside of the reverse light. Is it possible to insert the LED's there to create that design and block out the plain white light?
Thanks for the responses so far.

Not hard at all. You're just replacing bulbs. You access the rear of your tail light assembly through the trunk. Remove the felt false panels, unplug the power/control cord, pinch the two tabs that are clip holding the assembly to the housing and pull out. Might have to jiggle it a bit the first time to get it loose of the rubber seals on the side.

That is awesome. Thank you for the help.
Do you have any pictures of what the LEDs look like inside of the reverse light in plain day light? I am getting my back lights done brabus style and I am hoping the design on the reverse light is similar to the OEM LED reverse lights.

I just installed Azn's LEDs for my turn signals last week and they look great. Very easy to install and hopefully I get the backup light LEDs from him as well soon. Looks great!

Just ordered the full Non-P2 package and sent full color choice info through the purchase process "contact seller" option. Looking forward to plugging them in...I hope they do come well labeled and with a good diagram of what goes where?!?! Thanks, Mike!
