Those sockets you got are pretty large. I was able to find ones (from that online purveyor of quality Chinese crap) that were basically the same size as the original, which I removed from the bracket and tacked the new ones in place (good electrical conductivity there.) Here's a couple of pics of my parking light mod.
P.S. Relays are expected to arrive tomorrow for testing, John.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
