I used these tag lights.
Those are the same shape as mine and they don't work. The issue is that bulbous shape right above the tab that inserts in the light socket. It starts to close to the tab so it prevents the light from going all the way in. I'll have to find some other option, bc the stock bulbs are much shorter and don't have that shape in them so they fit snugly in the socket. Thanks though!

Thanks for the tip, but that won't work either. It isn't kept from fitting because the flat tab portion is too long, it's because that rounded shape begins too close to the end so it won't insert all the way. I suppose I could try filing it down.

Things I Learned from reflector turn signal mod.

Things I learned from others or my own:
-On my truck it was impossible to do it through the bottom puddle mirror hole. Not enough wire available and hard to reach.
-Study the pics on how to take mirrors off. It's not as bad as it sounds.
-A longer thin narrow head flat head screw driver works best to take off mirror.
-Pop one part and the rest is simple. Just follow around the circle until it all pops out, but don't forget to hold onto the mirror or it will fall. When putting it back on, center the mirror adjuster and push in the middle to snap back on.
-Have a Torx wrench/driver size T-20 for screws.
-Have a Dremmel type rotary tool with a cut off disk attached. The reflector has a thicker plastic. Utility knives will take longer, but are do-able, and need to be super sharp.
-The plastic tabs on the end of the reflector are fragile and can break easy when popping it out.
-You DO NOT need to drill any holes in the plastic to run wires through. It can be done without doing so.
-You DO NOT need to cut any of the factory wires. You can plug right into the other amber light and it works like a champ! I used a couple of the U-shaped fork looking wire end connector things.
-Depending on the brand the end of the LED light that has the wire coming out will be bulky and will make the reflector hard to pop back in at that end. I had to cut a small piece of the 3M tape off too. Cut some of the plastic around that tubular end down to make it flatter. Either that or you can make the strip longer and bend that wired end inside a bit. See what works best for you.
-Clear weatherproof silicone around the edge of the reflector is a must before placing back on. I siliconed the heck out of the inside where the tabs on the reflectors are too. Can't hurt.
First mirror 2 hours because I was lacking some equipment and took my time figuring out the mirror removal. Second mirror 30 minutes.

Meh, a headrest Mount would be better anyway, far more secure, and who sits in the middle unless you got 3 kids? A baby, and they don't need a tv, Lol! And then you lose use of the cupholder also. You get in an accident and that cupholder mounted dvd player is gonna be bouncing off you or your kids face.

1 screen shared between the back seats is better then needed multiple screens on each headrest.
