You're going to need the bases also as you will need to use 1157 dual element bulbs.

yes, change out the outer housing for the dual element type like the ones on the inside of the pair place red lense cover piggy back the wiring for tail light to the new housing run blinker to what use to be the brake light on that housing then you have 2 tail lights total, and one turn signal and one brake light on each side.
