I think I understand it now. Is the preferred solution the spyder housings I see in an earlier thread, but with LED bulbs? I see a set on amazon for around $150, as well as a replacement aftermarket OEM knockoff for $78 for one side ..... I would do the pre-wired capacitors if I go that way. Better back up lighting would be an improvement .....
