I want to know the size /color etc. I think that looks hot.

I also think that the stock bulbs have a "classic/classy" look to them as well.

there's a panel in your hatch right behind the license plate. pop that off with a flat head, and just twist off the blubs.

^^^ There-for prompting them to ticket you for license plate obstruction.

I say just go to a white light, doesn't have to be LED's. White light is clean/clear.

twist them. I had to use my Craftsman mechanics gloves for it because of the rubber finger grips and you really have to torque into them.

Twist it counterclockwise about 90 degrees. It's on there real tight.

Use some pliers wrapped in cloth, but squeeze gently to avoid damage.

LEDS are where its at, they make a huge difference in the visablity of the signals.
