Led tailights

Maybe i missed it but i tried to search and didn't find much, I really like how the new led taillights that everyone and thier dog has on thier newer trucks, so i been thinking that maybe i should put some on my 85.

I know nobody makes them, but i was thinking about getting some from a newer truck and making them fit. There's some superduty fords from {I think) the mid or later 2000's that look like thier lights might almost be a bolt in, seen one old dodge like mine that had different tailights in it, wasnt finished but the lights were in the factory opening and bolted in, was thinkin they were ford but not 100% sure. Anyways I don't have much access around here to newer trucks in wrecking yards but my thought was to use factory lights from the junkyard to figure out what would work and then just order up a set of leds for whatever trucks lights would be the easiest to mold in.

Really surprised with all the cool mods and cool trucks around here that i haven't seen any pics of anyone doing this, did i just miss them? Anyone wanna take some guesses at which lights would b easiest to mold into the old dodge????

You didn't try very hard, as it's in the sticky.. and there are a few more besides mine.

Actually I did see that install in the sticky, but I'm not really interested in the look of the led bulbs or that look, I would like more of an led panel type of look.

Edit......I actually never saw your install before Gyman, and it looks good, course to put leds in the whole thing like i was thinking could probably involve way too much wiring for me
Also maybe I should have been clearer I was thinking about using the whole taililght assembly from a different truck not just putting the lights into the factory tailight.
