Default 2003 GS300 L.E.D. 3rd brake light install help!

Heres the ebay link to the LED brake light.

http://m.ebay.com/itm/301445162144?nav=SEARCH

Ive searched and searched and searched. I bought the LED 3rd brake light on eBay. It was $30. Cool non the less but I've never seen the connectors it came with. They are small paddle like. It was supposed to be plug and play. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I installed that on my car. You use your old housing and plug flat leds in the old housing where the oem bulbs used to be. They all have to be facing the correct way for the brake light to work and it might set a brake dash light off.

Very much appreciated. I will definitely give it a try tomorrow. I have 5% tint all the way around. Are the LEDs brighter than the factory brake light? I have depo LED taillights that's why I picked up the third brake light. Thanks again for your response.

IMO the led tail is lighter because there are fewer lights and the bulbs are smaller..

Thanks all! I installed today and you're right they are not as bright as oem. Thanks again for everyone's help. When it gets darker Ill have to check them out again. With my Windows so dark they are a little hard to see.
