try to remove it by pulling the front...

to put it back you have to slide the rear back to its place and click the front back by pushing it up

SO this website is reliable? I'm a tad weary about giving up my credit card information, I usually pay with paypal...

Anyone had any trouble?

open the trunk.. locate that two plastick cover between the two handle (inside wall of the trunk) get a flat head screw driver and pop off the two cover.. now put your hands inside and try to find the connector.. twist it and take it out... same thing what you have to do with the parking light... when u get the connector out.. just pull out the bulb and insert the led... put the connector back.. twist it.. put the plastic covers back.

Got my LEDs in three days with USPS, came exact as ordered. Install was easy, although the 5 blulb LEDs aren't quite as bright as I would like on the interior lighting. Went with UV bulbs throughout, and the look is awesome. The most exciting change though is the running lights in the head lamps. swapped those with the UV bulbs as well. It looks freakin awesome. Pics to come, hopefully this evening.

UV LED's replaced running lights






UV Dome lights, doesn't look this bright in person.

Overall, I'm pleased, but will be ordering the square strip to go in the dome.

They are subtle, just enough to be seen and look sinister. The pictures don't really do them justice. Will try to get better ones with more light. The headlights are stock 08 projectors.

UV light can damage your eye... In long-term view...
