Default License plate lamp LED adapter?

Hey everyone,

I got some LED license plate lights that said they were compatible with a Monte but it seems the connections are different, anyone know of what I need to get these LED ones working?

Thanks

Hell yea it's real easy for them lol got pulled over for the tag light once in yellow monte, not happening again

I got em from eBay, I showed these in a thread a WHILE back :p haha
So they've been on there a good while now (months), I'm surprised they haven't peeled or anything yet since they're only on there with the double sided tape they came with I had to splice them into the existing tag light wires, which is only 2

Aha, Took a look again and low and behold, I was disassembling more than I needed to. I didn't realize the bulb came off where it did.

I can't say I am very impressed with it, it doesn't seem to be very high power. The pack came with two so maybe I will try and get another lamp housing from the junk yard and have two.
