You have to change to new sockets because you are going from 1156 (single) to 1157 (dual).

I just put in my DC clear bumpers, but i want the whole assembly to light up (the turning signal), not just the side. I want to know if there is another way to do this without re-wiriing. Or what is the easiest way to do this?

If you want the whole bumper to light up, changing to 1157 sockets is the only way to go.
