I'm putting the stock taillights on my HF trailer. (teardrop cargo) I wanted to put LED bulbs in to save current, but I noticed that there was no reflector inside so they looked weak as running lights. Robbed a reflector out of a cb750 taillight and that looked much better. Needed another reflector so I got a serving ladle at Walmart, stainless steel, nice shiny surface. Cut the handle down to make it a bracket, drilled a hole for the bulb and mounted it inside the plastic case with pop rivets. The bulbs also came from HF, 2 for $14.00 and I'm very happy with the results.
The side bulb will also get replaced with LED, but I'll use a dome light LED bulb because it has 3 LED's, much brighter. Just have to make another bracket to hold it

Let me know if you need more pics.
edit...I don't need the license plate light because it will be mounted elsewhere.
