Where to get 4 bulb LED blackout tail lights?

Okay, I searched the search function several times with different key words to no avail. One of my tail lights on my recently acquired truck has a 4 bulb led for black out lights and the other is just the smaller single element bulb like a 12v (older)vehicle would use for the license plate light. It is only an led bulb and not the whole assembly. The led ones line up perfect with the pair of cat's eyes and the incandescent one really stinks and barely lights up the two inner "eyes", leaving the clear red view of the filament through the lense. I bought two new (aftermarket) lenses at the findley show and after installing these I kind of forgot about the led part until this evening when I got back into the lights to see if the Tiawanese put two different type lenses over the black out section.

So to say the least I am pretty much a fan of the led blackout light bulbs as they really make the cat eyes look awesome. Does anyone know where one can find these 4 element led black out light bulbs? One side had a led clear smaller light for the blackout brake light but I replaced it with a regular incandescent and the yellow lense blurs the bulb's element enough to make the yellow brake lights look really good. It's just the four element red led that is for the regular blackout tail light that I need. It just fits into the regular bulb socket.

Sure did. Thank you very much. Even though you answered my question completely I figured I would throw some pics on here that I just took to help anyone else with the same question.

Again, thank you very much Swamp Donkey.20150529_234010.jpg20150529_234010.jpg

Last pic shows the led on left and incandescent on right with covers on. First pic on previous post is just of the leds with no cover. I found the led on some bay for less than half where I could find it elsewhere with free shipping. Even less than half of other sellers on same site. The link is longer than one line and my computer literacy don't allow me to shorten it. Sorry. Forum rules. Just search the p/n.

Got that $15 led in yesterday. Looked last night and it looks a little different in brightness and color. Just a bit dimmer and more toward orange instead of bright red in color. I am just a bit to picky on little things like this but I am glad I ordered two more at the same time from that seller selling them for half the price so I can try to find the nearest perfect match in color and brightness. Packaging on the one I recieved looks like true nos. Different lot # I suppose. I just wanted two more for when I get a trailer and glad I did now.

Got the two at $7.50 each and one was ok and the other one had one of the leds only working it's upper half. Still don't have a 100% color/brighntness match as every working one I have now is made by different manufacturers and have different brightnesses and colors. Still better than having one incandescent and one led.

That seller that sells them on the bay for $7.50 ea. just sent me a replacement even though they said no returns. Good seller. I asked if they were all the same manufacturer so I could get matching brightness/color and was willing to buy another and they just sent me another no charge. Highly recommend anyone to get them from this seller on the bay if they are wanting these in led.
