i used to have those. the oem turn signal and park light socket/bulb (7443) should fit in the main hole and work as both park and turn like it does already in the oem light. the tiny park bulb also has a place on the side but is not necessary. i left it out cause i think it looks better just as a single bulb. if the oem socket is loose, grab an extra o-ring and double it up.

If you aim them properly, you can get away with it. I had HIDs in halogen projectors without ever blinding anyone on the road. I now have an HID retrofit, and the light output is a million times better, and I still don't blind people on the road.

I have a sedan. They are too big. the blinker is the only problem. the headlights came with sockets in them, but the conector for the blinker is completely different then the one on my car.

if they go in and are loose, maybe put a lil bit of silicone around the socket. just enough that you can break it loose to change the bulb, but it will hold in place.
