It's cold in Kansas right now so I have plenty of time to play in the garage before spring. Thanks to everyone who replied to this post.
Here's an item that you'll find agreement on: Don't replace the original bulb sockets with repop sockets, as the new sockets are inferior. This goes for taillight as well as headlight sockets. Replace the wire, yes, the sockets no.
