Thanks Lane.

Eddy, the wiring is different too, as I said above.

The small LED lights replace a 1156 single filament bulb, GEN125CLUSTER, red.

The large LED lights replace a 1157 dual filament bulb, GEN185CLUSTER, red.

The small ones were too small to span from one side of the reflector to the other. I used a C-shaped shim from the hardware store and ground the edges to conform to the shape of the reflector.

The large ones are stuck in place with some epoxy putty.

I wish the large ones were slightly smaller. The chrome bezel touches the LED things on the edge.

The big ones have 48 LEDs and the small ones have 24 LEDs. I am a little bothered that it is the brake lights with only 24 LEDs. But, I expect them to be brighter than the incandescent bulbs and I have my flashing 3rd brake light under the grille.

The LED units come with a thing like the base of a bulb on the end of the wires. You just plug it into the socket like you would a bulb.
