I had one black out bulb that did not work and I needed another. I ordered a bulb from Midwest and told them to sell me a burnt out one because I was going to gut it. I heated up the bulbs to loosen the solder and pushed them inside. I the drilled out the bulb housing so they would clear an led bulb.
Because the bulb base no longer holds the bulb housing in place I used a stout spring to hold the bulb housing against the front bezel, which works well.
I’m not entirely pleased with being able to see the led bulb in the blackout spot. I thought about frosting the lens but I am going to utilize them as back up lights and want them bright as possible. So in this case function over appearance.
It took some searching but I found a dual element led bulb with the pins even across the base, a typical bulb with offset pins will not fit. The dual element bulb in the red bulb housing will function as a tail, brake, and turn signal.
