Default Power Trunk Pictures

Would someone be able to take a few pictures of their installed power trunk components. For example, a zoom out picture of where in the trunk that the trunk opener assembly is, where the trunk lid actuator is, where the trunk cylinder is, etc ... and how they're connected to one another? I'm having a difficult time picturing where everything is supposed to go and where they're connected to one another. I'm hoping that a picture or two might help. Thanks.

I've read through that thread, but there are a number of things that I don't understand and/or can't visualize. Perhaps some of you can help provide some guidance. I would be adding this feature to my 2013 GS350 AWD F-Sport. My questions are:

1. Is my vehicle missing the U33 trunk motor connector? If so, do I need to build it by buying something like this: https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...tra2=&filter=()
2. What does it mean to "add pin 32 on connector 5c"?
3. What gauge wire do I need to wire pin 32 on connector 5c to pin 10 of U33?
4. What do I use as a ground wire from Pin 11 on U33 to connect to the chassis?
5. Do I need to run all of these wires from the front of the vehicle to the trunk area where U33 is? If so, then would I need to pull out the back seat to do that?
6. Does U54 already exist in the trunk area of the 2013 F-Sport?
7. Are the CAN BUS wires from U54 to U33 a special type of wire? Do I have to use a blue can bus wire to connect from pin 11 of U54 to pin 5 on U33 and a yellow wire to connect from pin 22 of U54 to pin 6 of U33? What gauge does the wire need to be?
8. What is this part that is referenced: Left trunk lid hinge mark “0” if you had no rear body work 64520-30290? What is it used for?
9. Would it be better to modify the power trunk harness 82181-30320 or make my own harness by adding the missing wires?
10. After I make all of the above connections, where do the parts like the trunk lid actuator, trunk opener motor assay, power trunk harness, trunk close button (am I missing anything else?) connect to?

Sorry about all of the questions, but I'm trying to understand the process. Your help and expertise would be greatly appreciated. TIA

@peasodos will the harness from a 2015 power trunk work in a 2013?
