It looks more like those are separate led's instead of an led housing.

I would just buy another set of tail lights and put some led's in. Get the highest MCD led's you can find. Youll also need a resistor though.

the highest mcd red leds are going to be bright as crap. im working on finding how many lumens the stock brake light bulbs put out.

If you want an OEM look like that I'd recommend some wide angle red LEDs that throw out a decent amount of light, or you can sand down the LED "bulb" to spread the light more.

bright is good to a point... have you seen newer cadillac tails? i hate them theyre so bright.

You want a wide angle/diffused (spread) light output so it fills the housing with lights, rather than just small dots like in those videos. That accord coupe was done real nice
