Side view mirror LED's

So, I pulled my LED module out and tested the wiring. It has +12V, so the LED module is bad. Must be a bad wire/trace between the connections and the LEDs.
Did you just drill out the old LEDs and stuff new ones through the old holes, keeping them in place with some silicone adhesive? Then run new wires from the LEDs to the incoming connector tabs and soldered them on? Or am I missing an easier way to do things?
By the way, I measured the outer diameter of the LEDs in mine and they read 4mm.
Thanks,
Rob

YES YOU DID GOOD, you need LEDS,and that is exactly what I did to install them, when you drill them out , there is a metal strap, that connects the leds to the connectors, so when you drill them out you wilol drill through them , no big deal, just hold them tight when you drill them use a smaller drill bit and the extra plastic will make the hole just right, they are either 3mm or 4 mmdont worry those that i sent you light up the whole ground, drill at an angle also, let us see the pictures when you are done. Get the 12 volt LEDS that are prewired with the resistors built in, that is the link i sent you
