Default 3rd brake light

Has anyone seen an LED 3rd brake light conversion kit for the 04-06 LS that will NOT trigger the bulb-out sensor?

I'd like to match all the brake lights on the car to all-LED....never understood why Lexus spent the money on the lower lamps but forgot the high level unit???

The center mount light is not included in the tailligt indicator. I have led direct bulbs and works fine no trigger.

Really....did not know that light was not sensed.

What LED bulb size fits? Do I need resistors or plug-n-play?
