I just completed this mod and it all seems to work fine, so I figured I would share it here. Sorry if it's common knowledge.
I recently found that Dorman 923-011 has wires inside, instead of the rigid metal pieces, which made doing the quad brake light mod quite a bit easier for me. After some more thinking, I realized that it wouldn't be hard to convert them to use non-CK bulbs as well, meaning that any standard LED should work fine. That being said, attempt at your own risk.
First, Pull it apart and cut at the red line. Then pry the connectors marked with green and blue dots out of the sockets and remove the wires from the channels.
Next, notch out the spots marked in red. This part could probably be skipped, in all honesty.
Then run the black wire, which was previously on the left, down the right side and press the connectors into place.
Next, cut the brown wire close to the body side connector, leaving enough wire to solder to, and insert the connectors for that wire into the sockets on the left side.
Add a jumper to lengthen the wire that was previously cut.\
Finally, solder wires across the bottom terminals of the lower sockets, marked with a black line, to connect the grounds and allow for quad brake lights. Note, even if you don't want quad brake lights you MUST connect the bottom terminals of the bottom socket.
