This is a standard 7443. Remove the outer contacts marked with the red arrow by wiggling them back and fourth until they break. Carefully bend the inner contacts marked with a green arrow to the outer position (where the outer contacts were). Inner contacts are 5.4 watts, the outer contacts are 25 watts like the 7440 (turn signal bulbs).... way too bright. It's possible that there are lower wattage LED's that would work. This brightness matches the rear red parking lamp brightness better. The stock 7440 is as bright as the turns or brake lights and i don't think it should be.
