The Hella 8982 are supposed to be a the same dimensions and possibly a direct replacement for the old Hella 5603 but they bolt in from behind as apposed to through the face as the old 5603s did they also don't offer a backup light in the 8982 led. I personally have no experience with them, it would be best to contact the distributor first before ordering to confirm .

On the original hella 5603 lights hella used a special bulb holder which clips into the lamp they are hard to find .
The dual filament bulb holder can still be bought as it was used by Volkswagen in their 1985 to 1991 Vanagon
