Default License Plate Lights

Has anyone ever purchased these lights before? http://www.ebay.com/itm/252169762198?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I tried replacing the current lights by popping them out from below (instead of taking apart the rear door panel) and I think I snapped one of the clips off as it won't stay in place and falls down.

It looks like a cheap way to fix it.

Just buy LED #194 and replace both light "bulbs" why you are at and save your OEM light bulb housings. It's a pain in the *** because you have to take off the back plastic panel of the door to access them without breaking the tab's on their housing. So parts are cheap but the labor if you are good you can do it in under 1.5 hours. I would suggest also replacing the rear backup lights with LED's why you are there which are # 7440 LED i believe. I was able to pick those up at the local Advanced Auto Part's store. The rear back up lights are more expensive then the license plate lights. Good luck in your adventure!
