I've got the correct led's but not sure how to get them to contact the metal parts in the holder.
I used the original bulb holders with the bulbs removed (pulled old bulbs out using duct tape), then used a staple to bridge between the foil led terminals of the new bulb and the metal tops of the bulb holder which make connect when inserted. My led bulbs actually had small holes in which I pushed the staple through.
