I also converted to the LiteZupp LED lamps in all of my parking turn 
signal lamps and rear turn signal lights for the same reasons.  I also 
used them in the rear brake/running lights.  I modified the lamp  
mounting by removing the stock lamp socket and  installing a lamp 
socket  I purchased at my local FLAPS.  It is the kind that you push 
into a hole.  I had to enlarge the hole that exists in the light 
housing.  This puts the lamp pointing straight back just about even with 
the diffuser lens of the  brake lamp/running light.  The diffuser really 
cut down on the brightness of the LED lamp.  I found that the newer 
replacement light lens that I purchased from Moss the round diffuser 
portion was easily removed from the lens assembly.  This allowed for the 
full LED lamp brightness to pass through the lens.
