when putting it back together just make sure the puddle light housing is in the correct place and the turn signal housing piece put back in the correct spot.. then put the black cover piece back on and make sure it all fits in without gaps.. if there is a slight gap on top and outer side towards the led turn signal ur fine cuz when you screw it in the gap will close up.. the puddle light housing has this white tab and the black cover housing has a opening for the black tab just make sure the white tab fits inside the black cover housing before tightening it all up... then when all done push the bottom mirror back in place first then the tops..and your all done.. ENJOY. hope this helped...

Excellent post.

Any chance of getting a night shot or a shot in the garage to see how much more light it produces?

Thanks for your contributions. This should be part of a stickied DIY thread.

reverse lights are realllll easy...

open the trunk.. if u look at the inner upper trunk lid you will see those little plastic push clips.. take a pair of pliers or flat head and pull them off.. you don't have to take all of them off just the ones around the taillights.. then you will see the reverse light bulb socket.. pull it out install new led and push the pins back in and your done..



***if you reallllly can't figure it out let me know.. i'll make a quick diy******
