Come on! Where are the LED tail lights?

I just purchased a 2010 Acura TSX, it is in its last year and it is a popular car. You are telling no manufacturer has decided to make LED tail lights for this car?

Someone make them please I will help fund the project.

They are still dependable cars, but I do understand what you are saying.

I wouldnt have minded a lot of extra goodies, led, push button start, dimming side view mirriors, etc, etc. But I would have minded the extra cost. I can live with out a lot of these things most of them after a while become like yeah ok I have that so. As an example, I installed a aftermarket navigation H/U on my last car. After having it for acouple of months it was just another nav H/U. Dont get me wrong I miss some of the stuff I have had on other car that the tsx doesn't have but after awhile you get use to not having it until someone brings it up, lol. I would of better liked for the tsx xto have come in a turbo or S/C version, I will take that over leds any day. Speaking of leds, saw the headlights on the new rlx.

Instead of whining and hoping (this is to everyone and NOT personal to the op) someone here actually has to take the initiative and do some research and reach out to vendors and custom tail light creators and they have the show a demand and setup a group buy or make a case to show someone who is capable that this product will be worth their time.

Until someone actually does that then the odds that some vendor will come across this and make the ideal product for everyone will be astronomically low.

Also; I believe you can make your own.
However; a certain aptitude is needed.
knowing how to put together LED's on an LED board.

I bet a couple hours of googling; one could pick on how to make tail light LEDs.
