Tips:
get these from Harbor Freight to pop the lid liner plastic rivets out. There are two screws holding the plastic hand guard on and it needs to come off before the liner just flops down.
watch the power to the lamp that is on the liner. Leave the lamp on the liner. Pull the power cord off the center brake lamp.
remove the nuts & washers from the lamp brace (Don't drop them!). A deep 1/4" 10mm socket on a ratchet works well.
The led lamps come out the trunk lid from the outside. The brace stays inside.
When ready for re-assemble, connect the Center LED lamps to power BEFORE putting them into place.
