Paul, and easy to change out those Beehive Lamp sockets time the same two co=
nnector sockets as used up front and add LED turn signals. I did that and ad=
ded a Red wire coming off of the LED Tail light array that also lights up th=
e low power on the LED Bulb so those illuminate same us the upper brake ligh=
t assembly. I left high power for turn signal. A simple addition. Or change j=
ust the sockets and use the 1157 bulb, 2 conductor bulb.=20
