Anyone have the instructions for replacing the revers lights?

Got the new PIAA 19225's for the reverse lights... Anyone have a link to install instructions?

Also got the Polargs for the front and some PIAA's for the interior(install info for the interior would be appreciated also)

Could probably figure it out if my car was here, but the wife has it...

Anyone throw me a link?

For both sides you need to take out the cargo net screws, the top ones by the ledge of the trunk, then there should be one more on each side of the trunk near the top. Take those ones out too and pull the flap down. Reach in, find the brake lights, take them out, replace and put everything back together.

Hope they look good. I got the polargs blue reverse lights. They look like light purple since there is a tint of pink on the original casing of the taililghts.

Hope the instructions will help you out. Post again if you still have trouble.

This is a real simple job, took me all of 10 minutes

Open the trunk

Use a screw driver to take out the four screws holding down the back panel of the trunk. They pop out easily
Next, unscrew the cargo net holders.

Dont take anything out, just pull it back, find the rear lights, which should be the closest to you and pull them out. Make sure you use medical gloves to handle the bulbs.

Put one in and compare to stock, HUGE difference. You'll be impressed.

Got em all in... looks great...

The interior lights dont seem any brighter, but at least they arent that dingy yellow...

Anyone have a part number for a Polarg or PIAA light that will work in the dome light?

I have the PIAA 19223 dome light. It looks AWESOME!!! It is a bit smaller than stock, but if you bend the metal tabs that hold the dome light in place a little, it will be fine. They come in pairs, so buy a set and let one of the sacto guys have the other one!!!

They really fit? i thought they were too small, so i went to buy the "Xenon" brand ones because they were the longer ones. I think Polarg has the long dome lights too.
