Position the lights to the inside of the trunk on either side of the trunk latch assembly. 2009- 2010 Models: Position the lights to the trunk ceiling.
6. Clean the light mounting area with a mixture of 50 percent isopropyl alcohol and 50 percent distilled water. Allow to dry completely.
7. Remove the protective tape from the adhesive backing of the lights. Carefully position the lights to the inside of the trunk. Press firmly into place. Hold the lights in position with steady pressure for about ten seconds.
8. See Figure 7. Install a wire clip (5) as needed under the trunk light wire harness inside the trunk. Secure the harness to the wire clip with a cable strap (4). Repeat step as necessary until the harness is secure.
