Here is the LINK.

It comes with 3 different adapters.

To fit into the place where the stock bulb was, I used the one called a "Festoon". It has a spring so it adjusts to fit various locations, from 29-41mm.

To begin, you need to remove the 4 plastic push-pins securing the plastic trim at the rear of the trunk.

You can use a fingernail or a small tool like a dental pick or small screwdriver to first pop up the centre pin, then pull the whole assembly out.

These are the 4 to remove.

With the plastic pins removed, you can lift the panel up and forward a bit (you don't need to take it out) to gain access to the back of the stock trunk light.

Pop the stock lend out from the back, then rotate it and push it back through the hole.

You now have room to work.

I just snapped the lens back in place with the new wires coming out from underneath. It's tight but it works and necessitates no holes be drilled.

I then just peeled off the backing plate and stuck it down beside the original lens.

The switch still works too.

With new LED panel.

Altogether, well worth $1.78 !!!!
