Default lights

This mod can be completed with a few parts. The wiring and light sockets used were spare parts I had from my 89 Accord. It is the harness from the front corner/turn combination light. All you need is a drill large enough to drill the size hole needed to insert the socket. It depends on which socket you use because this particular harness has two different sized sockets. I can't remember what size drill I used, but it's better to go a smidge smaller, that way the socket will twist snug into the back of the light. The bulbs I used were sylvania 2X life 168 bulbs, since the only way to access the bulb is to remove the light housing from the trunk. Just install the socket into the housing, and apply a silicone sealant around the outside of the socket to keep out moisture. I cut the wires away from the rest of the harness and then spliced them in with the wires already on the trunk. The attached pictures help to illustrate the process, If you have any questions, let me know

Default light3

This is how I routed the wires to keep them from being pinched between the light and trunk.
