They built their LED into the same type of socket like the standard bulb.

I noticed that in car accessories shops, the LED bulbs they sell (meant for cars) have a concave surface instead of the usual convex, for the lens, to spread out the light instead of concentrating to a narrow angle. The Honda Stream's LED brake lights are using this kind of LED.
