Parking lites: its in the manual, p.31x around there. *tip* have 2 thin strips of electrical tape precut and within arms reach, when you plug the bulb into the harness, turn on your lites first to make sure they work, if they dont work then turn the bulb around and try the lites again, now if everything works put the tape around the bulb and harness, then plug the harness back into the housing.

reverse lites: only lite i havent done yet, sorry no tips.

parking lights - see above (good explanation)

reverse lights-
I just installed mine and you only have to remove about 6 of the clips on the luggage liner. Then it will pop off good enough to gain access. Open the trunk and start with the ones that are closest to the bottom. This would be the same location your emblems are on the outside. Remove three from each side (and maybe one in the middle cant remember). Then simply slide the liner over the handle in the trunk and you should see the area you need to get to.
As with above have electrical tape ready to make sure the bulb stays in place. Also check to be sure they work and you have the right polarity. Lastly reassemble and ENJOY!

Sorry... No Pics yet but PM with additional questions.

Some do, some don't. I haven't put any tape on my led parking lights, and they haven't fallen out (yet). I guess better safe than sorry. I'm just too lazy to cram my hands back into that tiny space to tape the bulbs.
