They did fit (the projector end is kinda making it damn hard to remove the housing tab now cus it's right up against the push tab lol) so I just said fuck it I'm leaving em as the trunk light.

Is this ok? I mean, am I doing damage here? The 921 leds are 12V if that means anything.
Yes, you're fine, just as long as the new bulbs wattage is equal or lower than the stock bulbs. Being LED, the power draw should be pretty low.
