A bit off topic, but to Kees point, when I first did the reflector =
conversion LEDs were well in the future, and the bulb to use was the =
halogen photography bulb. Heat build-up wasn=E2=80=99t a problem since =
neither the brake lights nor turn indicator are illuminated for long =
periods. That is until one time returning from California Healey Week =
at some far-flung destination I drove for over an hour on the freeway =
with my left turn signal on. The heat from the bulb warped a nice =
dimple in the reflector lens. Now the halogens are long gone, replaced =
by LEDs, and the warped lens sits on my workbench as a reminder that it =
could have been much worse.

Halogen in a tail light? Recipe for trouble as they get way to hot. Use =
a Tungsten light or an LED. As suggested, break the glass and remove the =
bulb base with pliers.
