If anyone's still wondering about this, a guy on the forums called Digi7ech makes complete LED tail lights for FCs through his company, AZRX7. Currently, he makes them for S5 tail lights only, but he's working on a set of S4s last I heard. He does everything himself though, so be warned that it may take him some time to deliver.

properly regulating them?
strange, i bought some LED enclosed trailer lights for my trailer for $20 each and they work fine and they have a little DOT stamp on them.. if you use the proper lumen LED for each section there should be no regulator necessary.

Lumens have nothing to do with a circuit you should be looking at the Vf and current they run at.

i can certainly understand if you sell the kits you want them to be more bulletproof and quality, if you're building them yourself and know how to repair them then you don't necessarily need to spend hundreds on simple LEDs, boards and complex regulators.
for an FD its a little more likely, for an FC with 1/3 the blue book value i think a $550 set of modded lights is a pretty hard sell.

The guy selling those led boards above is selling them for $365 and someone said that was too expensive. The thing is they don't know the leds alone are around $100. Those boards are costly to make and the labor time to solder everything. I think it is a pretty good deal.
I gave up on lighting products for the fc community because it is pretty much impossible to sell at the price point they want.

Not sure if you have followed Aaron Cakes build thread, but it's a good lesson on how to make these.
I was an Electronics Technician in the Navy for 6 years and have been a C#, VB, SQL, MVC, Java Script, programmer for 20 years so making these is kind of fun for me. Yes it's time consuming and will probably cost me a couple hundred bucks. The fun part is learning something new.

Considering the hours involved in making high quality circuit boards, assembling them all together and sealing them so they are reliable, a few hundred dollars isn't too bad.
Tail lights are a thing which should just work. For safety sake. Building with an eye of being able to repair them is worrisome because LEDs should last forever. If the boards are properly designed, flux removed, conformally sealed, they are permanent.
One thing to consider is that in most jurisdictions, one can't modify DOT approved lighting. Generally this puts one into the collector only insurance bracket.
