When I bought them, they came with the chrome trim and a cheezy metal bulb holder at the back. After examining the stock tails, I discovered that the recess that the stock bulbs fit into is exactly the size of the rocket tails. If you use the stock bulb holder to center the lens, you can slowly cut the front with a hole saw directly in line with the recess. You need a drill press, no hand tools.

I discarded the cheezy bulb holder and simply used some "Goop" glue to hold the rocket lens and chrome trim and seal it at the same time. This way the stock reflector and bulb socket are retained and work normally.

Here's another shot.....
