Is there anyone or any company who makes custom wooden tail lights?

Get a chunk of wood, hack it up, see if you like it. As long as you are only trying to please yourself, not more advanced woodworkers, it is pretty easy if you have the desire and time to do it. Metalwork tools are usable, but oil them afterwards.

Alternatively, make some friends on a woodwork forum, I'm sure there are plenty of skilled but unemployed people who would love to help you out. A custom bike is most custom with one of a kind parts!

Go to your local public high school, and see if there's an evening adult ed woodshop. It'll get you access to top-end woodworking tools (I'm thinking you'd probably want to lathe-turn this on a faceplate), as well as access to a range of exotic or otherwise hard-to-find woods, and most importantly, access to somebody who can tell you how to do it.

When all is said and done, you'll have exactly the part you want, and a whole new skill set.

You wood be the teak-er's pet, fir sure. (Sorry, couldn't resist joining in.)
