New LED tail lights 69 Cuda

something as simple as LED light panels

Y'still don't get it. They're not as "simple" as you'd prefer to think they are. Not when they're going on cars.

We get nothing but satisfaction and kind words from actual customers

I'm sure of that. Lots of people give lots of rave reviews to lots of products they think are cool and neato and excellent, regardless of the actual, objective safety performance or il/legality of the product. Testimonials, no matter how numerous or enthusiastic, don't substitute for safety certification.

And yes we will “certify” our lights this summer with the “independent third party”.

I'm not "sure" why you put "quotation marks" around "words" like "certify" and "phrases" like "independent third party" as if they "don't" really "exist" and are just something "stupid" made up to hassle "you". Nevertheless, good for you for moving towards taking some responsibility. Better late than never! Each individual product you offer has to undergo its own certification tests; you can't apply the certification from one product to another. But you don't have to meet the photometric standards required for today's cars, just the ones in effect when the latest-model car was built that any given product fits, plus the requirements that apply to all LED automotive lamps. [http://www.calcoast-itl.com]CalCoast[/url] or whatever other accredited lab you choose will be able to fill you in on all the details; all you have to tell them is what functions each product performs and what vehicles it fits.

I sincerely hope each of your products passes all the required tests, not only because that'll mean they're as good and as safe as you believe them to be, not only because then they'll be legal to use on public roadways, not only because it'll mean more options for people trying to improve their cars, but also because it'll mean you won't have to deal with any pesky recalls. But I'm not entirely optimistic on that last point; the chasing-sequence arrangement of your Camaro taillamps, for example, is fun but isn't compliant.
