yo as ive been told on many other sites these are a dealer item only and you cant just buy leds for them ....... it is how ever possible to take this tiny little bulb out and wire in some red ones but tough job... im planning on doing it so ill let everyone know how it goes... i am still up for options so if anyone else knows that would be great

Cover it with a towel, and hit the bulb with a hammer, then pull the leftovers out...

^Mr Brute FORCE! haha Have you tried heating it up (not up to where its melting), or maybe soaking it with glue eliminator / acetone to kill the glue?

If there's metal contacts in there you should be able to solder in a small LED holder from Radio Shack or some other electronics store. Looks like the opening left by the bulb would be big enough...

im putting together 2 options... either use the stock housing and put new leds in them and fold over the new contacts exactly like the stock ones are or try this napa socket and put leds in them-
