Below is the picture of a Tail Light from a 69 to 74 model Airstream.
We have a Kit ( Picture Below) that has Two Reds lights(STT)
and two white lights (Back-up) two
RED reflectors.

Sometimes folks don't use the back-ups, and get
2 of the Red STT

Often times the Can is rusted out. Picture of a Can Below
If the screws holes are in good shape then
this LED kit can be used if you seal with a thin
bead of clear
silicon. You will want to make sure
you do have it sealed so water will not run down
inside the wall and rot the wood floor.
VTS has the cans. Click here to see it.
Replacing the cans is a very hard install as the whole
casting has to come off. Most of the times this is
only done when the inside is gutted and the
back of the casting is easy to get to.
And a 1156 Socket
The 1156 and 1157 socket measures the same.
Please note, if you want to use the
"seal and no can replacement"
idea you CAN NOT cut the socket off
and straight wire the lights.
The sockets have to be in line.
You can solder your wires to the socket.
Below is a picture of how a 1157 socket is wired.
Below is a picture where the standard 4 inch round lights
are used in the 69 to 74 tail light. Any of these 4 inch round
lights have to be
trimmed
and sealed. It is a big job and
it is hard to make the
sealer
look good. In most cases the
light has to be ground down to fit which voids
warranty.
