may as well put a pic up of my homemades:
I didnt take photos, but I was able to squeeze 2 LEDs into a socket like that. They work absolutely fine, have for 6 months so far. You cant see it, but a resistor is in there.
what happend to the photo you had up before?
any way that led in the my picture would be more suited to use in a flasher. the manufacture specify that you run it at 50ma
