the rubber trimming had deformed a bit, and i would have had to buy a whole new assembly to replace those parts. a high price considering the side lights were stuck on as an afterthought, and don't match the car. i ripped them out and filled the original hole with a custom machined assembly that accepts a standard automotive bulb. i used the LED bulbs i'd originally purchased for the other lights, and didn't use because the quality of the light was prettier with conventional incandescents. at some point, i'll fill the holes completely and locate the side lighting elsewhere.
