Does the housing still protect the light/LED electronics from weather/dust, or did you have to leave it open to fit the strip?
Also, could you provide specifics of the best LED strip to use, for those of us less skilled at such projects?

Thank You for your kind words.
Well, there is only housing just in the middle where the old incandescent bulbs used to be. The good news is that The led strip is water and Weatherproof. I attached the LED strip to the red lens with 3M aluminum tape, after that i installed the OEM black plastic cover that is part of the third light assembly so you can obscure what it inside the third light.
About the led. Nine8Six is right. Those leds come in different sizes, SMD3528, SMD 5050 and the like, this numbers refer to the size of the LED in millimeters , the higher this number the brighter. So when you purchase your Led strip make sure you get at least 24 inches length for this project, RED color and have and LED type higher that SMD3528 which is small n and low power (the kind of stuff you find in AutoZone and is used for accent light ). A good seller will always specify the LED type.
I got this info about this LEDs if you are interested:
