    The same shit everyone else has.
    I went a different route and added 2 auxiliary LED pods for back up nights on each side of the hitch. They supplement the OEM lights really well.

    How'd you modify the pins on the bulb to fit the connector. The ones I bought, Phillips are too rigid and I broke the glass trying to bend the leads 180 degrees. Did you buy cheaper ones with the wire already laying against the glass?

    I didn't bend the leads. I took a micro screwdriver and tightened the socket tabs by bending them closer together. Push only the leads into the socket - It holds the bulb just fine.
