Default Dreaded license plate light problem

So, basically I went for an inspection and ended up getting slapped with a $400 bill including a new windshield, tie rod end, etc.. Long story short, I need to find some type of replacement for the entire license plate light sockets that the bulb connects to. All of my other lights work so I'm sure that all I need is either these factory sockets ( which from the dealer are exactly 54.25 each ) something I am not willing to pay. When I purchased the truck, these sockets were completely non-existent, they had been cut from the 2 wires. I need some type of advice for a replacement for these. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas as to what you guys did to fix this problem. Should I just wire some cheap bulbs or is there something more permanent that I can do. Cops in my area are pulling people over for this so I need help!

Without knowing the specifics of your vehicle (year, model?), this is the best I could come up with.....

you can buy screws with lights in then all your would have to do is wire them to the old light wires

In case anyone wants to know where I bought these. Go to: http://www.realhog.com/detail.cfm?Ca..._content=20249

Paid 24.94 with first class shipping. Ordered Thursday got them today. They're made for bikes ,but work just fine.
