3rd Brake Light issue

[KBoomBoxx]

So i take the lamp assembly apart to replace the bulbs... the size is unusual, its 922... so I go to put both bulbs back in and end up breaking the tiny pins that hold the bulbs in place... its some cheap plastic pins... I break all 4??? so heres my question:
Although I am already in process of obtaining a new assembly from the local salvage yard, has anyone ever put a bigger bulb in the assembly? instead of 2 small bulbs, like one big bulb... say a brake light bulb or reverse bulb? Are there any potential problems with this idea?

It might get too hot in there with bigger bulbs and cause even more problems.I've never tried it though.

Someone here once put an LED setup up there I think.

Also look up Kris Gilbeaux's (Navajo??) as I believe it was him that did a long bar style 3rd brake light instead of the square. And his might have been an LED. I can't remember.
