I asked a similar question of someone selling the LED plate lights - wanted to know the process of installation. I wasn't given the courtesy of a response to my query, so he lost my business.

You need to remove the felt trunk liner to access the license plate lights.

yea, I did that and to slip out the whole light it needs to push out to the outside, so that plastic piece needs to be removed, just around the camera it wont pop off.

There is a "u" shaped bracket up inside where the release handle for the trunklid is. You need to slide this bracket toward the front of the car and it will release completely from the trunklid. After doing so, you can remove the entire black underpanel with the lights.

Did you get it from JBSPEED who advertised on this forum? If so, have you queried him about install instructions?
