Installing Led tail lights

I have a 65 Globetrotter that I take on the road often so I decided to install LED tail lights for more safety/visibility. I purchased them from Inland RV. I took the trailer to a local RV place to install them. They said they would have to cut inside the plastic tail light bezel so the plug would fit. I said ok. Then they said they wouldn't fit unless they cut into the aluminum. I told them to put the old ones back on. I would like to have led lights but am scared to cut into the aluminum even if it is under the tail light bezel. What would Andy do?
