A friend did his 70 housings, and I followed on my 70, basically as follows. Removed all connections sockets and wires down to metal only. Carefully note where everything goes. Photos help. Powder coated the housing in bright silver. Reinstall all that was removed. Soldering is required. Got a tight fit on the bulbs by putting 3 dabs of solder around the bulb base and a dab on the end connection(s) and then sanding them down until you have a nice fit. I have been fighting the loose bulb thing for 45 years and now finally have reliable turn signals and brake lights. Then changed to led brake lights so that hopefully the idiots following can see the tiny brake lights on the car. Brightness does help.
