lamps and cappings question

Working on a 92, 110. Rear lamps are toast, and the cappings are pretty banged up. I have a set of galvy cappings that I want to use, and they are the newer style (TD5?) that require the nutserts and have 2 holes instead of 3. What lamp actually fits in this hole? It's way too small for TD5 style lamps with the econoseal connector?

I'll probably end up (reluctantly) using the wipac LEDs, as safety is a concern and I do want people to see the brakes. I thought about the newer style lamps with LED bulbs, but have seen less then stellar feedback regarding.

I have a 1 3/8 multibit ready to open up the cappings, but figured I'd reach out here first.

Open to opinions on bulbs, lamps, and LEDs. Thanks

Did you have to modify? The holes in the ones I have are much smaller. The nutserts are about at the edge of the hole on yours, mine would have about 1/8th inch between edge of hole and nursery.

are you going to run led bulbs in those?

There are a large number of these type of marker lights available for motorcycles. They come in smoke, clear, and other colors and available in a bunch of sizes (from dime size to 3 inches). I put these on my 4Runner when I took it to Europe to meet their requirements. The issue with the NAS side lights is the screw holes are pretty far apart, meaning you need a really big light to cover them. The ROW lights look much cleaner and smaller. I have a few here if you want to swing by.

I don't mind the stock ROW ones other than the fact that they are cheaply made. I'd prefer to keep the 3 hole setup, just knowing it's LR or britpart as an option. BOB has a led set to fit, but not wanting that oval. Was simply hoping a nicer made set was available, but may go back to LR. It seems as they are less translucent than the aftermarket.

Same goes for headlamp surrounds, the difference between LR and aftermarket send night and day with thickness, so I'm going to try and fix the cracked LR ones that came off.
