Oracle's LEDs are out toward the opening, and magnified with the cover. If you just put a regular LED in there the light output will be lost in the housing as the light is not directed out of the reverse light hole in the rear fascia. You can see the results of the stock housing on the thread about Oracle's (AAC's) LED reverse lights. The same result will happen if you put an LED in the stock housing.
