Andy:
If you have to get into hacking the harness so that you have the
original type of bulb
holders, I would recommend that you get a set of bulbs from Joe Parlanti
who makes
LED replacements. You can read a review by list member Jim Armstrong in
the April
issue of Rootes Review. Joe's web site is found at
http://velocesolutionsllc.com/
Cheers,
Tod
