We changed the taillights out with the LEDs a couple of months ago.
The taillights are a direct replacement and a plug-n-play. The side clearance lights require some splicing and replace the bulb and not the lens. This was a little disappointing after have the new taillight LED lens/module replacement. I have the side clearance lights but have not done the wiring.

I got the lights from www.pplmotorhomes.com The lights are Bargman "Led Tail Light Upgrade Kit" The taillight are about $30 each, $180 a side + side clearance light are about $14 each, 42 a side total $222 per side They had a fair price and shipped fast.
Our Magna has 4 stop/parking, 1 turn signal and 1 backup light on each side. I deleted the back up lights and put a second turn signal light in its place. The turn signal LED module fits the back up light position and will plug in to the light socket. Moving the "blue" backup light wire at the terminal board in the engine compartment to the turn signal connection easily changes the wiring. If I remember correctly the wire to the backup light comes in from the bottom and you need to move it over a couple connections.
We found one minor problem with the brighter lights. When you park at night the LED lights make it harder for the spotter to see.
