 10 points for effort Matt, well it gives it an interesting look but I am not sure the authorities will like it.
 
There was a good wright up on the forum on how to do this mod that may have helped you.

Yep followed the guide but didn't pre-test with the lights before soldering up. I have since fixed the issue, however once I fixed it initially one light was still way too bright; on closer inspection one of the sockets had been wired in reverse so I had to go green->red instead of green->green and they were not cheap sockets either which is annoying.
tl;dr One socket was dodgey and had to be re-wired, one was wired in reverse and I wired one whole side in reverse trusting the backwards plug. Needless to say I'm happy its done and over haha.

Good job mate, I tried doing the same to one of my MR2s and it all went haywire. The eBay sockets I bought weren't consistent, each one had three coloured wires (red, green, black) but on every socket, they all were used differently. So confusing!
 
Good job soldiering through the frustration and getting it done. I swear MR2s should of looked like this from factory
