yeah 4 inch leds are the size. I like a few of those custom ones posted by a few with board and all. I wasnt even thinking about that. As far as model numbers go, sorry, i can tell you as I would need to take them about again. What I can say is that I originally found a set on ebay, seen they were located in so cal, emailed them about coming to pick them up, turns out they were in ontario, off miliken. A place called the chrome shop, its a trucker shop. They had many choices to choose from, I really like those lights with the middle empty, looks like a skyline. However at the time they only had three of those lights, I didnt want to wait the couple days for the shipment, so i found these that i liked as the pattern was nicely spread.
And guess what i got a camera for christmas, yeah!!!! So i went out and took a few pics with it, its not a point and shoot and i havent master the lens and stuff, but much better than my phone, lol.
and with brakes
I could go take some take time shots right now and post them as my car is just outside, but..........might wait till i go somewhere....lol

ahhh yeah i have drove past that place when i used to hit up pick a part but never stopped by.
Just hit up ebay, you need 4 for the tail lights , and 2 for the corners. When i did it, i ordered 2 red ones then realized i cant find a matching other 2, so i used those for the corners *its ebay so cant cancel an order* and found 4 matching ones.. hence why my turn signals are red. Its not bad though.
Another mod i thought about was doing the led lights and keeping the clear diffuser in there so they would look all original but with the intensity and response of leds.

I will give someone a dollar if they add this into their brakes.

So, in removing the stock reflector behind the bulb, you've disabled the ability of the lights to reflect. OEM lights are not just signal lights, but also reflectors. For example, if the car is parked at the side of the road, headlights of approaching vehicles will reflect in the tail lights. Or rather, not so much any more because the LEDs have been installed.
Would seem to be a safety issue to me.

Rather than silicone. Just stick them back in the oven for aboit 5 min. Then press the lens back and hold them there for a few moments and they will seal up just fine.
