Thanks guys. I'll look for a pair of the integrated LED units like in QSilver's pictures. Any particular brand or version suggested? I have added to my Amazon wishlist a couple of options, but appreciate any suggestions. By the way, I also have the recurring 'license plate' message and replacing/dielectric greasing and futzing with the bulb and fixture aren't solving it, so I'm going to have to splurge for the $120+ replacement trim piece with the electronic latch, license plate light fixtures, etc. Its always something as I reach 150k miles and pass ten years since the Valentine's Day 2006 birthdate.
