From Aliexpress,

I’m thinking it could be an easy project. It would work with the breaking lights as well as turn signals and driving lights.

Has any one tried this or something similar?
Thoughts?

Not for me.

I'd get it colour matched or something like this: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32531

Did you actually look t the photos? It looks like a two year old strung some christmas lights together - uneven and very tacky - not to say extremely illegal.

It's a REFLECTOR, not a light. Please stop the LED madness!! Keep it a reflector - if you find yourself in your car, with no power at all in the middle of the night, along the narrow road with semi trucks and other people probably drunk and high cruising by - you want your car to be seen.

I like to have the led reflectors for safety, but why ilegal?

Because it’s dangerous to not have rear reflectors. For you and for others. As was just said.

Back in the early 90's I drove through France on my way from the UK to Germany. I was driving my 89 Corvette. Not too much traffic on the highway at 2am so moving at 100mph plus.

A couple of cars behind me flashed at me as they passed me and I thought they were just complimenting the car.

When I stopped to get gas I realized that I had no taillights - somehow the fuse had blown. A new fuse got my tails back and all was good, but I was very happy to have the reflectors.

That aside, those LEDs are pretty awful.

Lights are tacky and reflector delete is dangerous.

Illegal because it is a federal mandate in the US.

Regardless of all the stuff that we do to our cars that are not within the law (I’m not going to incriminate myself :) ), this is the one thing that I would never do

Was surprised to see ECS selling honeycomb pattern covers for the rear reflectors.
