One of my buddies Chris Gonzales is a tinkerer. He owns a tracked out S550 and knows his way round an LED board. He developed some custom rear LED lights to replace the reflectors in the S550 rear valence. Pretty slick when I saw them for the first time, and asked him to build me a set. As far as I know these were the first set to be installed on a car that wasn't his.
The install process took me about 3 hours, but it was because I was being a dunce. The rear valence on the GT350 has some added bracing in the way of removing the one nut that bolts the reflector in place. Once I figured out I could push things around to get my swivel in place the removal was pretty easy. Chris wrote up some instructions based on my experience, and even added heat wrap to block the wires from the exhaust. The only thing you need to remove on the GT350 is the lower diffuser, but that comes off easy enough.
Here is a short video of them in operation. They work as a running light, brake light, turn signal, and hazard. You can also disconnect certain wires to make them work how you want.

How much cash would I have to part with to get a set of these?

Maybe it's just the video, but the LED's on the side ones look a little unevenly spaced/leveled. The lower one looks good, and more OEM to me. Is there a way the lower center one can also be used as a reverse light since some of the rear tow hooks use the reverse light space?

I think they are $175

Hmmm, the lights are in the OEM location. Looks pretty even when I see it. The lower one is also a reverse LED. Would be cool if you could make those rear ones reverse lights if you run the hook

Interested in this as well. I ‘ve been looking to replace the rear diffuser reflectors with LEDs for a while now. Is there any way to order these (link, email, etc)?
