you have to take off the inner lining of the inside of the trunk. its easy take out all the pushpins and one screw in the shutting handle than it should be self explanitory from there (take out the lights and replace them with yours)

Quicly and basically, you need to take off the inner trunk lid liner, fool around with the odd clamps that hold the lights in until they release, change the bulbs, and put it all back together. 15 minutes prolly.

I don't think the WLED's will work. Different base in the Trunk and License Plate light.


Check this thread:

Here's a couple of bits that might help:

I've changed mine a few times and just popped the clear housing out easily?

Never once had to remove anything inside and/or get at them from the back.
