I managed to do the LED swap fairly easy

Hope this helps. It’s possible and pretty easy if you follow the instructions on this thread... https://www.tsxclub.com/forums/2nd-g...#/topics/59812

Here are some pics

How it looks. Took no more than an hour and I didn’t break any clips. I followed the instructions from this thread... https://www.tsxclub.com/forums/2nd-gen-general-car-topics/59812-rear-deck-removal-guide.html#/topics/59812

Both lights and disassembled rear deck
