2: The LONG wires for the light (trunk latch to light and drivers kickpanel to light, both are part of the light plug)
3: Light itself
4: Latch button




1: Remove the rear seats (not posting info on seat removal as there are 2 distinct seat setups).


2: Remove the drivers side trim (front door sill, lower seatbelt cover, rear door sill, and C pillar) and passenger side C pillar trim.







3: Remove the 3rd brake light cover (2 push in style clips) and then unscrew the light assembly (2 10mm bolts).

5: Remove the center trunk trim piece.




6: Unscrew (2 10mm bolts) the latch.

10: Run the trunk light side connector into the appropriate place as shown, and plug in the light and push into place in the trunk.






11: Run the blue wire to the front of the car.




12: Take the pigtail wire from the connector from the parts car out of the harness.  You 1st have to pull out the plastic piece on the side using a small flathead screwdriver.  Then you need to pry back the tab holding the wire on the inside.






13: Connect the wires together (Crimp or solder).




14: Remove the plastic piece on the side of your car’s connector, then slide the wire in the same hole that you took the wire from on the other connector.  Then go ahead and push in the plastic piece to secure the wire in place.
