There was just one up for sale on the forum here for $150 or so, but it wasn't lit up. I'm sure it wouldn't be too bad to light up yourself though - some 194a bulbs would work just fine behind the plate.

They do not light up, but at least one forum member did his with an el panel. I've got one on my se, not lit up though. They are reflective.

I'm the one who lit up the rear center panel with some EL sheeting. Here's the original thread:

I am working on a light up one making it out of plexi glass and painted the inside of it with RX7 stencils. also making a defused LED light board for behind it so it will light up with the tail lights and not the brake lights.
