Ok, stupid question - when using the LEDs, did you use two separate bulbs, or just one with three wires? I can't seem to find anything that matches this configuration, but I am hesitant to use two sets of bulbs because I want it to act like a dual-filament light and to just put one hole in the housing. Has anyone done this?

Went ahead and did it with two, gotta say, it was a bit harder than expected. Finding the OEM ground means taking out your back passenger seat and the moulding on that side. Thanks for the help!

I just did mine with dual filament red led bulb (1157) from Autostoners....the twin pack led bulbs and socket were like 16 bucks out the door I think... Turned out awesome.

There is a ground on the rear wall, ie inside the trunk, opposite the license plate.

Thanks for the awesome DIY. I was able to do this yesterday. One question though. Are you able to twist the socket to lock it in or is the grey plastic housing that you drilled through too thick? I just happened to get the same socket as you but I'm having issue with twisting the socket to get it to lock.

Just did this yesterday. For 8 sockets and bulbs left over. All work lol it was cheaper to buy 10 of each Dom my source then 1 of each on eBay lmao.
Brakeing illuminates my second bulb, first bulb illuminates with driving lights. I also cleaned it up like Zola with the plastic cover over the wires and ran tem through the Oem rubber plug. Amazing write up! Only difficult thing for me was removing the damn light assembly with out removing muffler or rear bumper. I'm over 6 feet tall..so I got big hands lol.

I want to use the dual filament/bright LED, but what is the housing part number you used for it. Thanks
