Into your existing housings. The flat pancake style ones work better than the round ones, and make sure they're 5050 LEDs or higher if you want them bright. I replaced half of mine with 5050s, the other half with 3528s when I didn't need as much light.
I replaced 9 of the below light fixture for 2 reasons:
1) I wanted to upgrade to LEDs, and
2) the 3-position switch (off, 1 bulb, 2 bulbs), in my experience, has a high failure rate. On the most frequently used lights the contacts on the "1 bulb" position get worn out - requiring one to use the "2 bulb" position to get the light to turn on. I've installed replacement fixtures several times. It became such a major PITA that just installing LED bulbs wouldn't fix the bad switches. I said "to heck with it" and replaced all of the fixtures with LED fixtures. The switch on the LED fixtures has a good solid feel to it. Time will tell how well the Thin-Lite fixtures work.
