When you get the thing apart, it is interesting to see just how much larger the housing is than the relatively small opening in the fascia. Like a parts bin housing they pulled out for the Gen 5...

Pulled it back off to install the LED's instead of the stock 194 bulbs for the sockets I spliced in. Here's what I was trying to describe in words for the means of attaching the parts store standard 194 socket to this lamp housing with a zip tie loop and hooks for the tie fashioned from the OEM housing pins by heating and bending over the ends of the pins...

.

Definite improvement...vs. having no lamps at all!!

It is worth it if you have installed a backup camera.
